A week ago I wanted to go into MySpace.com looking for a friend. When I clicked to the website I got a prompt on my screen asking me to "upgrade my browser". I use firefox and am being asked to upgrade to 3.6 so I obviously use a lower one in my WinME PC. I tried to download the 3.6 browser but it seems that my WinMe is so outdated that I am not allowed. So my question today for you guys is this: Is there a way to download a 3.6 brower?

You can download it, but it won't run on WinMe. There is a way to make MySpace.com 
accept what you have. The method is explained, along with other options, in the following 
thread on another site.

ancien thank you for your advise. I download 3.6 and when I click to open it I get "Set up has caused an error SETUP.EX" and say it will now close. I use my IE browser for MySpace but because my default browser is firefox I have stubbornly tried to download 3.6 mozilla firefox. With IE I have no issues with MySpace. I will look at the link you sent. THANKS.

Which version?

It appears that 2.0.0.20 was the last version that ran on WinME. Thats FileHippo's 
technical spec but you can never believe it. Oldapps.com say all versions run on 
Win95 to Win7, bull. Mozilla only show 3.6.

There are other newer free browser available. 

Opera 9.64

Which version of IE are you using? You could goto IE6.0 SP1 if your not already using 
it.

I only use IE on my WinME, WinXP and Vista. Its good enough for what I need. I've 
tried FireFox and Opera but I wasn't impressed with them.

IE is a virus magnet. That is why many people have stopped using it.

Firefox 3 will run quite happily on Windows ME.

You will need to install the Kernel Extender program (KernelEx.exe) first, in order to run Firefox 3 (any version of Firefox 3). Without the Kernel Extender the last version of Firefox which runs on Win9x is v2.0.0.20.

Get KernelEx.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/
