Running IE8 with all updates and thinking about going to IE9. Is there
a site that will check out my system and step me thru this.

Bruce said:Not gonna happen. IE8 is the last version that will run on XP.
Flash said:I was hoping that this would not be the case. I don't think my system will
update to win 7.
Thanks Bruce

YW. Considering that support for XP ends April 8th, I don't see much of
an advantage to load IE9 even if you could.

updates for those browsers will continue.
Also, Microsoft was going to drop support for MSE on XP as well...but now
they are going to postpone that until July, 2015

XP should still be viable for a while yet,
I saw the MSE announcement here on January 15.

Although I am running Win7 on my laptop and desktop, they both have
multiple browsers. AFAIC, it's always good to have more than one.
And of course, XP won't go "poof" April 8th. As long as I had a decent
security program, I wouldn't be afraid to continue using it for quite
some time.
