canoncopy Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 My daughter has an older laptop that she use for small applications. She wanted to get on the internet. I bought a wireless card to use on laptop. Her laptop runs windows SE. I saw that windows SE has Explorer 5.0. I have DSL at home running Windows Xp Pro. My problem is that when I try to install her wireless card it's asking for IE 5.5 or higher. I don't have dial up any more so I can't connect her modem to upgrade. Tried to download Explorer and it keeps telling me that I have newer version allready installed. Can I download explorer to Zp drive or something to install on laptop?

eidenk Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Google and you will easily find download links for IE 5.5 SP2 or IE 6 SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoncopy Posted August 19, 2005 Author Share Posted August 19, 2005 yes I understand that. My problem is that I can't download on her laptop. When I try to download IE on my desktop it tells me that I have a newer version of IE and it will not let me download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda43 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 The proper way to Upgrade an I.E. 5.0 install to I.E. 6/SP1 is with the CD from Microsoft. I got mine for free.....I think I paid the shipping and handling charge of $5 or so.Almost any (decent) tech in your area should have one. Have you asked?I personally did not want a copy, so I got mine directly from Microsoft.I use it often on service calls where I'm faced with an old PC running ver 5 or 5.5.The download from MS is problematical at best.Cheers,Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 On your desktop machine, you need to download not in the "normal" way, but along the lines of these instructions:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...;257249&sd=techPLEASE, DOUBLE check the parameters, and verify that the quotes are matching, it is the single most reported problem, as the quotes must be EXACTLY as stated.also you will need the /d:1 switch to download for all OS.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_98a Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) this is about to sound stupid but you could have just installed one of the many aol discs floating around out there, that would have updated it......also some of the old msn dics had so u could just copy the IE folder straight off the cd and install it, if u have one of those avaiable........

jaclaz Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Maybe I'm in a strange mood today, but if canoncopy asks how he can download a full IE update, WHY everyone else is trying to convince him to get a CD? On a side note, some good uses for AOL's CDs:http://www.koolpages.com/hokuspokus/make/aolcds.htmlExperiments with 'em:http://homepages.newnet.co.uk/martynarnold/aol.htmhttp://homepages.newnet.co.uk/martynarnold/armour.htmOr contribute to this great campaign:http://www.nomoreaolcds.com/ jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
