Hello HB, you should be using IE8 for security reasons. IE 6 is obsolete. IE7 is old IE8 has been out for 18 months now is is safe to install. I think you should be keeping up to date for security from Virus and malicious software. XP is up to Service Pack 3 now and XP home is no longer supported by Microsoft so they will no longer issuing patches and security fixes for it. There was the greatest number of Hot Fixes/patches ever released last Tuesday. I advise everyone to install the critical patches for their systems.

I'm currently running I.E. 6 and XP Home. I tend not to upgrade until I need to, mostly to avoid the program's growing problems. Is anyone still experiencing problems with I.E. 7?
