    Huummm! Tell you what. Try it from here, scroll down and you'll find IE5.01. From here it won't automatically install, you'll need to save it to your hard drive, in 'downloads' or someplace then run it from Start > Run and type in the file name or double click on the file. See if that works better.

    dsnow: Upgrading from what? An earlier version of IE or from Netscape. Also, the newest version of IE is 5.01 not 5.0 To get to 5.01 go to the Windows update site here, click on ' Product Updates'. When the page appears basically scroll down to find IE then follow the instructions..

    Be sure to turn off your virus scanner, wallpaper, etc. before going to the site.....

    Hi,

    Go to the Windows Update Site. You can find the link on the left of the MSN home page. (www.msn.com) It will check your computer and list all of the updates available for you. IE 5.01 will be listed.

    Hope this helps.

    okay, upgraded to IE5.01, but everything is still fullscreen and both the bottom and top toolbars float. The fullscreen button is no longer on the toolbar either.
