Internet Explorer ships as a part of Windows not Office / Exce
sometimes Microsoft does put restrictions on some product to only wor
on X or Y versions of what it needs to run, IE is often effected.

If you are on the WWW and can hit a link you should be able to downloa
it unless you have restrictions in place say a work place does this
lot stops files and attachments. SP2 is just a bolt on most fo
security measure, so I am perplexed whys happening here, should wor
ok, I am not so sure about the hotFix tho? I might try to just get th
software to work correctly. Windows 2000+ is all IE6 and the SP is fre
from the Microsoft web site you can if not on dial up connectio
download it and install it. Or see if a PC magazine has it for you the
often give it away there no licence issues it is free so no problem
where you source it from if you can download it. All in all if al
settings are default and no restrictions with or without Sp2 should b
all ok.
