First off, I'm far from an expert on this.

You didn't mention what operating system you had. That may determine which MS Explorer you should shoot for.

IMO, newer Explorer on older operating system has caused me more problems than anything else.

I would let it go through its updates and prompt you for newer explorer as it goes along. You may want to get a consensus on all this.

To find out what you have you can click 'help' and 'About Internet Explorer' to find out what version you have.
