Recently I started getting this message when I start up
IE.
"Internet Explorer Compatability Mode"
"This is being run in compatability mode and not all
features are enabled."

Should I be concerned?
Any idea why this should start being displayed?
Can I check what features are not enabled?

Thanks in advance for your help.
 
Did your have or had two versions of IE in the computer at one time?
IE 4 and 5 could work in a compatibility mode.
