Can anyone tell me how to tell what version of internet explorer I am running?  Windows XP, if that makes a difference.  My next move with this thing is going to involve a hammer >:(.

Have you tried Mozilla Firefox? Cured all my I.E. problems. Joe

Open IE, click on Help, then About and it will show you the version.

Firefox is much better without the headaches.  ;)

If it's IE 8, then that accounts for the  >:( face.

Mary downloaded IE8 on one PC and it sucked.  I asked her why she did it and she said, "Well,  it said to."  I threatened her to never do it on the other PC. 

We just got a new box to replace the junk system we had and it's got IE7 even though it's also got Windows Vista.

My taxcut for business will not open. I get a message saying I need IE explorer 6 or higher.  I have downloaded explorer 7, but it will not finish installing. Tried Explorer 6, and it will not install, saying there is a newer version already installed. >:( The 05 and 06 taxcut for business  won't open either.  I normally use Foxfire.

Thanks, Radar. I checked and I do already have 6.something or other.  I hate computers. ::)

The only reason you would need IE is for ActiveX sites. I believe there has been a ruling against Microsoft making you use their browser. So, there must be some issues with your computer, possibly. I haven't needed IE for a long time and I only use it to play UNO online now.

I have no idea what is going on with your problem.If it says there is a version already installed you may have to go to Explorer website and downlaod a program to remove all version of IE.Seems like I had trouble with Norton anti virus and I had to go to Norton website to remove all of norton.Once I did it I was all set.But I don't know if that will work or not.

Go into add/remove programs in the Control Panel and remove all I.E versions. Then open Firefox and go get I.E. again and it should install. I keep a working copy to use when nothing else will. Good Luck, Joe
