I have downloaded Internet Explorer 6 and the service pack. When I click on help to see what version I have it does say, Internet Explorer 6, but not of the websites recognize it. They say I am using Internet 4. My browser does not look like the new version either. How can I fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result. Yahoo, Pogo, and even Microsoft Windows Update say I am using an older version.
