Hi,

I get this message everytime I try to start Outlook.:
"You need Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 orlater to us ethi sfeature. You can download......"

This appears to be the result of my son downloading some game patches (none of which have indicated any problems, but both Netscape 7.1 and Outlook both stopped working when after he had done it.

I am using IE 6 and have been quite some time without any problems, although IE now does not show me a version number when I look at "About IE"

Can anyone help ???/

Thanks,

Craig
 
You might also want to set up your son as a restricted account that cannot
install software.
