[nabs-l] Internet Explorer problems

[Steve Jacobson]

Josh,

If you do a google search for "Internet Explorer 9 Requirements", one of the results points you to a microsoft page which states that for Vista, you must 
have Service Pack 2 installed.  I'm not sure if you get that as an optional update through Windows Update or not, but it is worth doing a check for 
updates through Windows update and then checking to see if it is in the optional updates.  If you can't get it through Windows Update, you can probably 
search for it on google and find the web site that has it.  I would only get it from Microsoft, though, and be sure you know if your system is a 32-bit or a 64-
bit system.  

Good luck.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
