When I'm using Internet Explorer and I click on another Web Site it brings up Netscape as the default browser. I have two questions!
How can I bring up another copy of IE instead of Netscape and if I use Netscape to read my mail in conjunction withIE will it cause any system problems.

Chances are Netscape is defined as your primary browser (that is, associated with .htm and .html files by default).
Easiest way to correct this "problem", without reinstalling IE, is save a html file to your hard drive (doesn't have to be anything important). Next, in Windows Explorer, while holding shift (either one) down, right click on the html file, in the resulting context menu, select Open With.., in the resulting Open with dialog box make sure "Always use this program to open this type of file" is selected, then highlight IExplore, and click .
As to your second question, it shouldn't cause any problems to use Netscape Mail. But, then again, we're talking about Micro$oft products.

Another way to do it is while in IE do the following
goto TOOLS/Internet Option,,,then go to the programs tab...at the bottom of this screen there will be a line say something about IE checking to see if it is the default browser...check the box and restart IE...a screen will appear asking if you want IE to be your default browser...select yes and you are set
