I recently upgraded to XP and IExplorer version 6.
I'm using First Page 2000 version 2 for the first time since upgrading and I cannot invoke IExplore to preview using the external browser feature of First Page. :(
I used it with no problems before.
Is this another piece of software that does not function with XP?
Does anyone know what I might do?

I fixed it myself. Thanks anyway.

Please say how you fixed it.

(Not that I have this problem, but in case future new members have the same problem, they will find your post and have the answer at their fingertips. )

When I used the automatic option to select my primary external browser, it showed up as Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106.

After trying other unsuccessful fixes, I thought to change the name (I chose IExplorer6), and this allowed me to invoke it as the external browser. I don't know why it didn't work intitially or why it works now, but I'm glad it does.:D
