I had been using IE6 when it started acting funky the other day. I couldn't
get IE6 back properly, so I did the update so I could get something to work
with, and I only got that by using Netscape to get there. Actually, I kind
of like Netscape better, BUT they are not responsive and I can't even get
signed into their message boards WITH my CORRECT password. :(

Anyway, I really do not want to go back to IE6 unless I have major problems
with IE7. I like the tabs feature--I just wish the toolbar was more
versatile so I could lay it out like IE6 with the address bar on the bottom.

I have IE7 version 20061107.210142 and NO updates--the updates would not
install. I have to go. I'll be back.

IE6 is not listed, but IE7 is listed in the add/remove programs in the
control panel. Netscape is, though. I noticed that when I found the exe
file for what I thought was IE6, all of the folders and filenames were blue
rather than black like everything else.
