to install office 2007 i need ms windows xp sp2 (service pack 2). to
download win xp sp2, i need internet explorer 5 or later. I can't download
internet explorer 7 without having win xp sp2. i don't know how to tell
which internet explorer version I have, but i evidently don't have version 5
or later. is there some way i can install version 5 or 6, and then upgrade
in a step-wise manner to work my way up to current versions?

Hi Ehwa:

To find out which version of Internet Explorer you have go to Help >
About Internet Explorer.

If it's of any help, Windows XP comes with Internet Explorer 6, so if
you have XP, you have IE 6.
