Whether you use it to browse or not - as has been pointed out - IE is integral to the OS in XP and for that reason needs to be kept updated for security if nothing else.

Yes updated not as below installed

I have an old Dell Laptop which has Windows XP on it. I currently use Firefox which was installed on it when I bought the laptop. when I try and install Internet Explorer it works for a bit then will always crash. Is there anything I can do to resolve this issue??

And .....why is the OP installing it ? Which was my question

Sorry!! just seen replys, thanks for responses. I will check to see if I have all the latest updates and SP3. The reason I am installing IE is because I feel more comfortable around the broswer, layout and where things are etc' thats all. I am running a Dell D680, sorry if that was misleading.

If it contiues to crash, try it in mode.

Do you mean "safe mode"? Key F8 during the boot, and then reset IE back to factory settings (tools/internet options/advanced tab). Try re-installing again after this.

No, I meant:

If it continues to crash, try it in no add-ons mode.

If you've got sp3 installed uninstall it and then you can uninstall ie8 or 7. Then reinstall sp3 and ie8.
