MSIE 5 should work just fine. It is not THAT far out of date. Maybe he 
just needs to check his settings. Not being a user if MSIE I wouldn't 
know. I believe the makers of the BSOD call it "Internet Options."

Personally, I would shy away from MSIE and Outlook. They are constantly 
being attacked by viruses and such. I currently use Netscape 6.2.1 it 
still has some bugs (we're not talking MS type security bugs) but a new 
release is due out soon. The down side is viewing pages that are 
designed with FrontPage or other MS crap. Their stuff has a tendency to 
put MS proprietary code into the HTML. Those pages will intentionally 
not render on other browsers.

I highly recommend Mozilla, currently in release .9.9, which has a 
feature where you can kill pop-up windows and plenty of customizable 
skins available. Mozilla and Netscape 6.x are based on the Gecko viewer 
Mozilla, like Linux, is open source (you know, the stuff that MS is so 
deathly afraid of). Updates are available daily

Another option definitely worth checking out is Opera. It has an 
interesting feature that allows you to switch which browser it will 
identify itself as. This is great for viewing the aforementioned pages. 
I haven't played around with it enough but I did like what I saw so far. 
Unlike the other browsers, Opera is shareware. The free version has an 
annoying banner plastered at the top.

I find it very amusing that here, on this list where we are Triumph 
riders, we made our riding choices, to an extent, to not be like all 
those other HD and HonKawYamaZuki riders, yet some of us chose to stick 
with the browser that came preinstalled on their machines. ;-)
