Hi

You should have IE 6 installed with XP. Where did you see IE 5.1? Open
Internet Explorer and go to Help>About Internet Explorer - what version does
it say is installed?

Internet Explorer 5.1 is for the Apple OS X. Microsoft Internet Explorer
5.1 for Macintosh

Internet Explorer 6 comes with Windows XP.

Windows History: Internet Explorer History
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/WinHistoryIE.mspx

Windows XP is NT 5.1

NT stands for New Technology.
XP stands for eXPerience.

Almost certainly the above isn't correct. You have Windows XP
SP2, which is also known as Windows NT 5.1. You have Internet
Explorer 6.0, which is the version that comes with Windows XP.

To check this, in IE, go to Help | About, and see what it says.
