Don't you just LOVE MS "logic"?

Consider yourself lucky. DL Opera 7.x from www.oldversion.com
and/or offbyone from www.offbyone.com, and forget about the
piece of crap that IE always was, is, and will be.

I have Opera, Netsacape, Firefox and Safari on my system. Like I said
I don't use IE much
but need it to test web page compatibility.

Catch 22 (Ver 2.0) (c) Microsoft.

Obviously to get round this loony state of affairs you'll have to
install another browser, Firefox for example. Someone should be able to
stick it on a USB key for you (as you can't download) or you can find it
on a free magazine CD. Of course once you install it you might not want
IE any more, but that's another story, at least it will get you round
the problem.

This being said, you should be installing IE7 by now which is better
than 6 if only for the tabs.

(Lashing out at IE has become a little TOO automatic for me...)

I keep on forgetting that there are people who do what you do. I
myself don't have a web site and probably never will.

Just on the extremely remote chance you are not familiar with
it:
www.anybrowser.com
....although for all *I* know it may be totally useless :=)

Regards.
