I find 98 machines with IE6 on always seem to get that wonderfull message "could not open the search page" which normally means a winsock2 problems. May just be my imagination of course.

Yeah, had this discussion in work the other day and BB customers have far more problems with winsocks, so it could be to with some popular software they all use, zonealarm or kazza maybe, just an observation
Originally posted by jay.dee So what's the concensus? Should a Win 2K user upgrade to 6 or 5.5? I'm still using 5.01 but I don't think that it's safe enough...
i used 6 on WIN ME when i had it had to reformat once because i screwed it up but on the whole 6 has been the fastest and reliable for me
on win xp now though i tweaked ie6 and its fast effective and best looking browser for pages IMO

Go for it, I used IE6 on 2K for ages without any problems before i finally gave in thinking there could not be a more stable OS than 2K and im glad to say XP has proved me wrong.
I used to think 2K was solid but XP is Bullet Proof.
Originally posted by homealone Does anyone have a newer disk - latest ones are supposed to be xp compatible so what version of IE is on? Have they set it to install 5.5 on Win98se & 6.0 on xp?
Had my BB installed just over a week ago, so I would presume my isntall disk is the latest version - the readme file says Version 1.8
As far as I can tell there is only IE 5.5 on there.

Thanks for that Mikey B
As Lord Nikon pointed out, if IE6 is already installed (standard with XP or via Windows Update) then the installation leaves it "as is", I was just interested to know which version of IE was on the newer disks - cheers again.
