Click on the blue question mark in the menu bar at the top.

EDIT: Or assuming that you are using Windows, Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs then look what versions are installed in the list.

IE 8 will be fine, but XP is really coming to the end of its life now, so you should budget for an upgrade at some point in the near future.

I think that any machine with minimum requirements for XP is at the end of its life. Mine drags like mad when I open 5 or more tabs. Web pages are so busy nowadays.

Edit: saying that I'm sure I still have issues with Adobe Flash PLayer. It keeps crashing!

For IE:

Click the gear icon at the top of the page, then select 'About Internet Explorer'.

Get with the program, GBS, I believe the latest IE is IE10. If not, maybe I should upgrade (but I never use it).

I'm there now. Looking good, Russ.

Thanks for all the hard work.
