Im using windows xp sp1(all updates installed) and IE ver. 6 with all the updates installed . I recently trying to view mt course materials from microsoft and i cant open the default htm file. when i try to click the file a message appears that the page is optimized for ie 4 or higher and wanted me to update. Why would i update my ie? when i tried to click ok from the message it directs me to the website of ie downloads and wanted me to download ver 5.5. What shall i do? i desperately need to open the files coz i need to study for my exams.
