Hiya

Was looking to update my IE from 7 to 8 though I thought I had version 8 until now       My OS is Win XP so I know IE 9 no good so can you tell me where I can get the IE 8 from safely please?  Adrian mentioned IE would be automatically updated from January but this hasn't happened on mine atm.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for that Phil, think hippo will be the best as I think I've downloaded summat from them before.  Will now have to wait til I'm ready to go on the PC as that's where it's needed...not here on my lappy.  Thank you again.
