Can somebody help me or tell me what to do?
I want to run a software from one of these money Transfer companies in my shop, but it only runs with IE 7 or 8 and I have IE6 running on my maschine, the fact that I have windows 2000 OS running on my server, it has been impossible for me to upgrade from IE6 to IE7 or 8.
I need some help please......

sorry to say that, but under win2k, you are asking the impossible. IE 7 and 8 only works under xp and beyond. IE 9 will work under vista/seven only, so... only one option, if you really require that software: update the OS

True, and on that machine running Win2K, it probably is too old (the hardware) so Seven is likely out of the picture - you have 2 options IMO...

Purchase Windows XP if you can find it or, determine if your software runs on Windows Seven and buy a new PC. I know, the "spend more money" always stinks but in the computer world you wait a bit too long before upgrading and a new system is the only course of action - I'm dealing with this now.

The manufacturers quit making parts for older systems so you either try (and hope) you can find replacement parts for legacy systems sold by lesser known manufacturers (usually lesser is both in name and quality) to upgrade an old system or you spend the money to build a new system from parts you can get from the trusted sources.

You also have the option of finding a used (or new) computer that might come with XP preinstalled but you will have to look hard (and be careful, you don't want someone's junk they want to unload for a buck or two).

Since you are trying to run a business you don't want to go cheap, you want a reliable machine that can run the money transfer software - you need to consult the software recommended system specs - if it lists a 2.1 Ghz CPU, 1GB of RAM and so on build (or upgrade) the system to these specifications, including the operating system.
