"maybe you answer this then! how do i acsess IE?"

If you don't see the icon (a blue 'e') in your Start Menu or on your Desktop, then you can click on 'Start', click on 'Run', type in 'iexplore.exe' and click on 'ok'. That will open Internet Explorer. If you feel the need to set IE as your default web browser, you can click on 'Tools', 'Internet Options', click on the tab called 'Programs', then check the box at the bottom underneath the button that says 'Reset Web Settings'. Once the checkbox is checked, click 'Apply' at the bottom right corner of the dialog box, and then click 'ok' to close the dialog box.
