confused about installing multiple browsers

[thecount]

I need help with this. I currently have xp installed on my MBP 17" and running ie6. I desperately need to install ie7 too. how do I go about this? is this easy?

Just download it from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx

Or just run Windows Update, IE7 will appear as a 'critical' update.

But I need both ie6 and ie 7 running so that I can cross browser check? any ideas?

Please try to Google , or search this forum, I do not remember, but someone suggested solution

Bleh... you are running Parallels you can always clone your Windows installation and have one with ie6 and another with ie7. There is a way to run both browsers, it's a hack, since Windows itself is only prepared to run one version at a time.

Yes, please note, you will not violate license only if you run only one Windows per time

any issue with memory here though? ram etc? advice?

 

[Parallels User]

If you run them alternately there's no issue with RAM, if you run them at the same time that means Parallels will take double the RAM it would take one alone.
