Help!

[Colleen]

I am running Win XP (SP2). I use the IE from Microsoft
(MS). The
version installed (under "Help", "About IE") is 6.0 SP2.

There some sites (e.g. Office Upgrade from MS), when
doing an
automated upgrade, that report "Warning: You are viewing
this page
with an unsupported Web browser. This Web site works best
with
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or later or Netscape
Navigator 6.0 or
later".

I tried to (re)-install IE using the ie6setup.exe file.
This reports
"Setup has detected a newer version of IE already
installed on this
system. Setup cannot continue" and then ends normally.

Then I tried to install an IE upgrade (Q831167). This on
the otherhand
reports "This update requires IE 6.0 SP1 to be installed".

To make matters more complicated, I use MS Messenger and
when I want
to pick my mail I get the online message "You are using a
web browser
that Hotmail does not support. If you continue to use
your current
browser software we cannot guarantee that Hotmail will
work correctly
for you."

Hi,
Two possibilities come to mind:
Your firewall or another security program is blocking version information.
Try disabling programs running in the background which *might* be causing
this.

Try the reinstall procedure at http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/IEFAQ.htm >>>
Tip #12.

Hope this helps,
Don
