Hello,

Simple question, what were the default IE versions on Windows 2000 and 98SE?

Also, will those versions install on XP? I need to test some CSS with those versions.

Thanks

i *think* that's 5.0 and 5.5 respectively. there's some info floating around t'interent on how to install more than one local version of IE. failing that, there's always good ol' www.browsercam.com

I think you're right. On my recent trip to Nandaihe, a place where all computers run Windows98 or, if you're lucky, Windows2000, I found that they all used IE 5.0 except the one computer with 2000, which had 5.5.

What was really smart was that, as part of their anti-hacker-security-control-system-thingy, it was impossible to update to 6.0.

I was under the impression that only IE 6 or higher could be installed on XP. That the OS would not let IE 5 or 5.5 be installed or something. I could be wrong though, and it's been a long time since I've been in the PC world.

nope, found the tutorial i was on about, and it's says 5.5 can be used, here, with this guy saying he's got 5.01 running too. all in XP.
