I installed IE 5.01 (or maybe it was 5.1 ?) on a PC running DRDOS 7.03 
and WfW3.11. It even did this while Windows was running as a task under
Taskmgr. I always run Windows this way and it works fine.
IE5 worked OK as well, but it was no better than Opera and it was such a
bloated beast it offended me.

Alex.
