Default Windows downgrading to IE 5.5

Is it possible to downgrade my version of IE or run 5.5 alongside 6.x?

I am running Windows2000 but also have XP and need to test with an old browser...

As a Mac user, I thought would be as simple as running an older version of the IE app but no such luck - lol

Anyone any bright ideas?

Cheers,
Rich

Control Panel > Add Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Component

Remove IE from here and install 5.5?

Not sure about running both at once!

don't think you can run 2 versions of IE on the same PC.

Virtual PC with different build versions?

Tis true, you cant run 2 different versions of IE side by side.

IE 6 can be a pain sometimes. When upgrading to Version 6 it would have given you the choice to save the old version in a backup. If you picked not to save a backup, it can be very hard to uninstall version 6 (sometimes, anyway).
