IE Eight

[chris68coupe]

Greetings clever people

I am trying to upgrade from IE7 to IE8. Every time I try I get this........

Without getting too techy on me, what does it mean and what can I do to download IE8 succesfully?

According to this link http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090319192442AAWExaLyou need to install a later windoes service pack first as this service pack contains the procesure IE8 is looking for.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Dan

I will attempt to download Service pack 2 or 3 (Whatever that is ) and try again.

Well, here I am at 10 past one Sunday morning and got nowhere. Watched the computer doing all sorts of upgrades only to find it did not like them. Kept going round in circles into DOS mode and all sorts. God knows how I got back to here again . Actually I managed a 'System Restore' at some point but I am still without the upgrades or IE8. Will try again later.

Due to Jim not being very helpfull, I now have 'Firefox' as a browser . Took me a few days to get it where I wanted it but seems to do all I need. All this grief just 'cus youtube said it would no longer be available using IE7 .
