Hi guys,

I've got a website that I need to test in IE6 but can't from this PC because it doesn't have it installed, and I've absolutely no idea how to install IE6 on Vista.

Also, if possible is there a program I can install or run that'll basically mimic IE6 to save me doing a full install? That'd be ideal since I'd only very rarely use the program.

Thanks

I think you have two options:-
1. Buy an old PC at a car boot sale or computer shop for as little as possible; you can find one cheap as people upgrade to XP from W98 or Vista from XP.

2. If you have an old installation disk for Win98 or WIN XP which has IE6 install a virtual PC:-

This allows you to run an old operating system like W98 or XP with IE6 on a computer with Vista, but separates Vista from W98 or XP.
