If you are using Internet Explorer 7 and you ever happen to receive the following message at a webpage:

Browser [Internet Explorer version number less than 5.0] not supported.
At this moment you can use only:

1. Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
2. Netscape 6.0 or later

in order to browse this site.

Then download and install User Agent String Utility version 2, a utility that opens an Internet Explorer 7.0 window that is configured to report its identity to websites as being Internet Explorer 6.0.

Link: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

A character string called the “User Agent String” identifies the major version of the browser to web sites so that the sites can offer certain functionality on particular browser versions. In some cases, websites might misidentify a new version of IE as an outdated version, with results ranging from rendering and behavior issues to total rejection of the user. This utility changes certain registry keys on an IE 7.0 installation to allow a user to emulate an IE 6.0 installation as a simple workaround until problematic sites update their code. It also offers users the option to report these problematic sites to Microsoft.

The handy tip above was brought to my attention by our member graziano - thanks a lot!
