  Hi CJC62,

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forum.

  What version of the operating system is installed on your computer?

  Assuming that it's Windows XP, here is some information on the Internet Explorer that comes with Service Pack 3 (SP3). SP3 for XP will continue to ship with Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and it contains a roll-up updates of security for IE6. If you still use Internet Explorer 6, then XP SP3 will be offered to you via Windows Update as a high priority update. You can safely install XP SP3 and have an updated release of IE6 with all your personal preferences, such as homepages and Favorites, still intact.

  For more details on Internet Explorer that comes with the SP3 of XP see

  IE and Windows XP Service Pack 3

  See for more information on Windows XP SP3 and how do I get
