I have been given a Win95 machine for the children to add to the network. IE 5 and outlook express have been deleted. While Netscape 7.2 will install and run, I would like to have IE 5 or 5.5 as well (whatever the highest version that will run on Win95). From microsoft's site I get linked to IE 6, but then a message that IE 6 won't load on Win 95. Does anyone know where the full download for IE 5 or 5.5 can be obtained?
 
Do a Google search for IE 5.5. There are sites that have all the "old" programs.

Thanks for the leads. Does anyone know what the latest version is that can be installed on Win95? I know 6 is out, but what about IE 5.5 SP2?

============================
==============================
Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 is available for download from Microsoft for Windows Millennium Edition only.

Note: Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 does not support Netscape-style plug-ins. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1
Release Date: November 2, 2000
How to Obtain
Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 is no longer available from Microsoft.


===========================================

Seems to indicate it can be used (look at bottom of page in "The information in this article applies to:") if you can find it for d/l

though this page makes NO Mention of 95
===========================================

I'd go with Mozilla/Firefox for security, ease of use and no headaches
