All correct updates to Microsoft Internet Explorer can be found at http://www.opera.com and http://www.litepc.com -- Any mental activity is easy if it need not be subjected to reality.

Guest MEB Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Re: updating internet explorer 5.0 to newer version OOPS, I was chuckling at thanatoid's posts this evening, he must be in a nasty mood... If you need to use WINDOWSUPDATES, use the install versions NOT the stand-alone.. http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/ for the various versions -- MEB http://peoplescounsel.orgfree.com ________

An engine is an integral part of an automobile. Windows works *fine* without IE. I know it's pointless to argue with someone with a mind as closed as yours, but that DOES happen to be the case. Anyway, WHY are you posting to me? I thought we reached a hostile agreement of non-communication a long time ago.

And there is the minor matter of NOT supplying the system updates that might be needed... PRIOR to WinLite or Lite Windows or some variant.... additionally, there are other issues such as Certificates, intended use, etc... thanatoid [or whatever this alter-ego is] sometimes forgets to include these things when forming responses, but then that's thanatoid, take it or leave it - he will be what he will be, I suppose... perhaps you weren't here in his early posting days so you may not understand... He's kind of like the resident flamer or an old attack dog [and I mean no slur but have no good way to classify otherwise], his good days are, well, good; whereas, his bad days can be pure hell for those around him or upon whom he has targeted.... So before I posted, I had already read his other postings for the time period, and he had pounced upon some poor unsuspecting person seeking help..
