Hi Yvonne, A quicker way to check your version of IE is, while in IE press the key combination of Jaws/insert, control, & V keys. Also, if you don't like IE 8 you can uninstall it through the control panel and if you do uninstall IE 8 it will automatically revert back to IE 7. Take care. Mike

There you should hear what your currently installed version is. it requires some up harrowing if I remember right to get it to read all the info in that window.

Windows, refers to the operating system installed on your computer. There are many different versions of Windows, such as XP and Vista. And to further complicate things the version of Windows currently in beta is called Windows 7. 2. Internet Explorer, commonly referred to as I E,is an internet browser, used for accessing the internet. There are several versions of I E, such as versions 6, 7 and 8. Version 8, is the latest version. 3. Outlook Express, commonly referred to as O E, is an e-mail client, used for sending and receiving e-mail messages. As Flor stated earlier, there is no version higher than 6, because Microsoft changed it and gave it another name. HTH, Richard Q.
