Which version XP

[#1]

How do I tell if I have SP2 for XP, and if I have SP2 is it worth downloading Explorer version 7, I currently have Explorer 6

[#2]

If you do a right click on my computer and select properties you will see under general tab what you have, e.g:
Microsoft Windows XP
Home edition
Service Pack 2
Also i think the upgrade to I.E 7 is a must.

1. Right click My computer and click Properties.
2. Download and install Firefox.

Edit: adiewoo is a speed typer

Would agree that firefox is better, but if you are a stickler for IE (like my OH) 7 is better than 6.

Go into:-
My Computer > View System Information

I prefer IE7 just for the extra benefit of Tab browsing.

Then you have my sympathies

Thanks for advice, where can I get Firefox from and can I have that as well as Explorer.

....and when you install FireFox it will offer to import Internet Explorer's settings.

Thanks will give it a go.

If you have not got Sp2, and I hope you have, may as well download SP3 RC from microsofts website. THis includes SP2, and the millions of bug fixes since SP2.  Its a release candidate, not the final release but it seems to be stable enough.

Quite agree about Firefox - only have IE7 because some sites I visit, like TF1.fr, seem to like it better.
I like FireFTP add on to Firefox - nice free integrated prog

Thanks, i might have got her to move except for 2 stupid sites that seem to have too much IE specific code in. Grrrr

Netscape/Firefox had tabbed browsing long before IE copied them

Fully aware of that, however the OP was asking about the benefits of upgrade from IE6 to IE7.
