What version of Internet Explorer should I use ?
We recommend that you use a version equal or higher than 4.01. Many web sites use frames and Javascript which would not show correctly on previous versions. Users with enough RAM (24 MB) and disk (50 MB available) should use the current release (5.5 SP1). To determine the version you have installed go to Explorer and select "Help", "About Internet Explorer" and compare the version reported with the following table provided by Microsoft.
