Are you sure that you are downloading the NT version of IE?

Their are at least 4 versions of IE 5.5 and 6.
You need to download the correct version for your OS.

Beyond the above, I suggest you give Mozilla a try. It is under 1/2 the size of IE, and has some nice features.

My problem remains,i do appreciate the response.I am installing NT4.0 from cd.It installs with IE2.0 and it amazes me that i have difficuly with upgrading to IE5.5 0r 6.0.5.5 will hang at the point a LAN connection is specified.
Our O.S's are all126 bit encripted and the updates are for the 128 encripted O.S's.There are only two versions of IE for NT,the 56 bit and the 126.Mozilla is an exceptable browser,as is Netscape.Both use the same engine.
