Is it possible to have IE 5 and 6 installed at the same time?

I want to test some webpages w/ IE 5.01.....

Highly doubt that.

I wouldn't think so, but I've never tried.

Microsoft used to allow IE4 to coexist in a "compatibility" mode when installing IE 5.0.

I haven't a clue for IE5 and IE6. Your best bet is probably Windows NT 4.0 with IE5. And install IE6 on top of it and see if you can choose some setting to keep IE5.

My gut feeling tells me that Windows 2000 will try to completely integrate IE6 into Windows, but you could try it on Windows 2000 also. I used to use NT 4.0 for browser testing purposes.

Thanks very much for the effort, but... slow.... picture.... server.... wont.... load.....image.

EDIT: Finally loaded: looks fine to me, unless something at the bottom of the page is messed up, but I was mainly worried about the CSS, which seems fine.

Works fine for me.

Give VMWare a try. Download a trial version. Your P4 should handle it without much trouble, although I personally would run VMWare on a duallie rig.
