Barbato, OD > Hi, A few things, someone suggested Mozilla, if you only want a Web browser, I would recommend Firefox, which is the browser component of Mozilla. Some web sites ONLY work in Internet Explorer (IE), however, you can download an extension to Firefox called "View in IE". If the page doesn't display properly in Firefox, you right-click and select "View in IE" and it loads that page in IE. That and Windows Update are the only reasons I keep IE on my systems at all. The Computer Security group that advises the US Government has recommended people stop using IE because of all the security issues. I would also agree with the recommendation to upgrade to XP, I'm no fan of Micro$haft, but it is the best consumer OS they have produced. If you can't get a copy of XP with service pack 2 included, let me know and I'll send you a copy of Service Pack 2 on disk (It's a BIG download). If anybody else would like one, please let me know.
