[Ham-Computers] IE 8

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Does anyone know whether or not IE 8 can still be downloaded from the 
Microsoft Update site?

One of our main machines here still runs XP.  One program that I run on it 
frequently is the Stamps.Com software to print postage.  The software was 
working OK this morning but all of a sudden quit working mid-afternoon.  After 
an hour with their tech support this afternoon, they informed me that their 
software somehow uses IE to connect to their servers.  And the problem was 
with the IE 8 installation.  They tried first to tell me that I had to 
switch their software to a Windows 8 machine we have that is in another room.  
Then they said I could try reinstalling IE 8 but there was no guarantee that 
that would fix the problem.  And have a nice day. 

So I'm going to try uninstalling and reinstalling IE 8 but if I recall 
correctly, XP shipped with either 6 or 7.  So I need an installable copy of IE 
8.
