OK-So I'm behind times--

John,

IE 5.01 is quicker than 4.0, more stable, and offers the capability of repairing itself should it be damaged. The only caveat for downloading (other than the amount of time it will take) is to disable your virus scanner and firewall, set your screensaver to "none," and set power management to "Never" turn off monitor and hard disk.

I'd recommend the full installation rather than custom. Also, when the download starts you will receive a file called Ie5setup.exe. Save it somewhere permanent. In the event IE 5.01 is badly damaged, it will ask you to run Setup again so you'll want to have it available.

Denny,

Thanks for taking time to reply. Did I read correctly in another post that the download for IE 5.01 is 77 Mb? Is the CD available from Microsoft? It would take my system 24 hrs. to download. I live in the country and the phone lines are slooow.
