I'm trying to get an older laptop updated and set up to use a wireless internet connection. The laptop is running Windows 98 SE. To install the wireless software I need IE 5.5 or higher. I currently have IE 5. I don't have internet access from the laptop yet. I downloaded IE 5.5 setup onto a cd from a different computer and tried to install it on my laptop but it wouldn't let me install it without an internet conenction. In short, I can't setup my internet connection (my only option for the laptop is wireless) without IE 5.5 and I can't install IE 5.5 without an internet connection. What do I do??
