I.E. 5.00.** Should I upgrade/patch??

[randypj]

Newbie to I.E......came from the darkside of 'Scrape.

This is the version that I have on my W2K SP2 install.

Should I upgrade to a newer version, or are there just security patches?

How do I upgrade?

I still use Netscape Communicator for my email.....and dialup if that matters.

I've used Netscape since at least 3.*, but finally got really tired of it crashing. Whatta ya know. I.E. never seems to crash, and, is faster.

Thanks

Randy, Randy, Randy....

Upgrade to IE6 today. Don't forget to use Windows Update to get all the latest patches.

I use 5.01 with SP1 and SP2 on my 98SE machine and still love it.

OK, OK, OK.......but can or should I use www.windowsupdate.com ? I like the way it shows what is going to be updated.

Yeah, just choose Windows Update from your Start menu and go to town. Since you're on dial-up get ready for a wait, since your download will be >12MB most likely.
