Internet Explorer is a browser developed by Microsoft for use on Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems. IE, in addition to displaying web pages, performs other functions in the operating system, including updating the OS.
Internet Explorer 9 was designed to bring a lot of new things to web development by adding SVG support, embedding experimental HTML 5 features, and enabling hardware acceleration for Direct2D graphics. It is in the last option that the problem of incompatibility between Internet Exploper 9 and Windows XP lies.
XP uses video card driver models that do not support the Direct2D API. It simply cannot be implemented, which is why IE 9 was not released for Win XP. From the above, we draw a simple conclusion: it is impossible to install the ninth version of this browser on Windows XP. Even if by some miracle you succeed, then it will not work normally or will refuse to start at all.
Conclusion
As we have already said, IE 9 is not intended for XP, but there are "craftsmen" who offer "fixed" distributions for installation on this OS. Do not download or install such packages under any circumstances, this is cheating. Remember that Explorer not only shows pages on the Internet, but also participates in the operation of the system, and so, an incompatible distribution kit can lead to serious problems, up to and including loss of performance. Therefore, use what you have (IE 8) or upgrade to a more modern OS.
Now we will consider with you the fastest and easiest way to update the web Internet browser Explorer 8 to the latest, ninth version of Internet Explorer.
