What to do if Internet Explorer can't be updated?
Youtube has recently begun notifying me that I need to update my browser because I'm using IE 7 and will be unable to view videos soon.
Multiple times, I've attempted to update my browser from Microsoft but every time it finally finishes downloading, I'm notified that I already have an updated version of IE.
I plan on just ignoring Youtube's notifications because I don't know of what else I should do. However, for future reference, what would you suggest I do to update IE if necessary?

If the Version of Internet Explorer is too old--may be unable to "support"( run the certain software )the current version of Flash used by Youtube and the reason it can't updated is that it is simply does not have the structure/code or ability to run current software. Think of trying to fit the fuel injection of a 2012 car in inside a 1959 car that has a carburetor. It just won't work. Of course, using this same example--the 1959 car can still run and work pretty good but when something goes wrong--it is not easy or even possible to find the broken part. Sometimes it has to be custom made.
This same scenario can happen with an Old(er) computer platform when it tries to run new software or programs. If you really dislike the newest( or newer) Versions of IE try installing the IE8. Visit the site below to find the version of your choice.

All Internet browsers are similar to use, so just get any really and most people would say FireFox but I use the new Internet Explorer which I have no problems with.

You can use Avant browser, Avant has ie firefox and chrome three rendering engines. You can set the youtube to be opened with firefox or chrome engine in this browser. Or you have problem in one rendering engine, then just switch to other engines, no need to open a second browser.That's very useful.
