Is there any way to install IE5.5 alongside my current IE6? I have a browser plug-in that only works with 5.5 (don't ask, just don't ask...) which I want to use to show content.

Assuming it is possible, where is the best place to get a copy of IE5.5?

I doubt you can use both versions either - you may need to dual-boot your machine, which is easy for a techy - but I don't know your expertise level
Thanks for the advice: I reckon I'm at the 'competent but timid' techy level.

If it helps the content/html I need to display with IE5.5 is all local to my PC; I could even cope with the browser executing from CDROM/removable disk. However, it looks like I won't be able to get hold of a copy anyway (I'm not sufficiently techy to have ever bought a PC magazine ).

Oh well, looks like I'll be breaking my old laptop out of retirement (which does have IE5.5) and carrying both around.
