[cw-discuss] Quicken 7 does not see IE6

[Irwin Lazar]

I've tried the below approach, and the end-result is that you can't do
any Internet banking.  Quicken brings up the dialog to configure
on-line banking, then dies.

Can anyone point me to instructions for installing IE 6.0 in a Win2K
or WinXP bottle?

Thanks
Irwin
