Since you didn't tell us which one you have . . . To see what you have, at the top, click Help, About Internet Explorer.
XP supports up to IE8 (not IE9). Vista/W7 supports up to IE9.
I always post in the newbies section,because,the question sounds so simple sometimes.Here it is:how can I make sure I have IE9 d/l'ed on my computer.Every time I start up,my homepage says,at the top:upgrade to safer IE8,OR upgrade to IE9 now.Sounds stupid,I know,but,need to know.Thanks,chucker.
