Cannot find or download internet explorer

[reuben]

a friend of mine just got a new laptop and installed rogers high speed. The browser thatt on the desktop is rogers. I cannot find Iternet explorer or outlook express nor can I download it because I get the message that the installed brower is newer. Please help

I take it that its an XP install?

Try this:
-Click Start
-Click Run
-Type iexplore in that box
-This 'Should' Run Internet Explorer

For Outlook:
Look in this folder "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\" (Thats if your Windows is installed on the C Drive) For an msimn.exe

Hope this helps get it started, All you need really is to just open my Computer and you can type in websites in the address bar and it should work.

But If you can get into IExplore but not Outlook, I recommend you try Mozilla Thunderbird from www.mozilla.org (http://www.mozilla.org) , And Maybe get Firefox(highly recommended) But YOU DO NEED IEXPLORE TO RUN WINDOWS UPDATE.
