I have deleted the link In Answer: I am sorry to throw a dampener on things, but the link takes me to the web page and tells me there is an incompatability problem with Internet Explorer 8 and gives me the option to upgrade to IE 9 BETA version. Absolutely no way would I do this, and I would urge caution to anyone who wants to try this.  It might work for you, but I would definitely not upgrade to a beta version for anyone. I won't even upgrade to any software package that ends in version number x.00. I apologise if I am casting aspersions and I certainly don't mean to imply anything malicious is intended, but I truly think that anyone who wants to take advantage of upgrading to a "beta" system from Microsoft needs to know exactly what the risks are and should do so from the official Microsoft website and not some blog.  They should also be technically aware and competent enough to put their system back together if it all goes pear shaped. Sorry, off soap box, just don't want anyone's system  to be compromised.
