I had to reformat my hard drive on an older Desktop running Windowx XP. The IE browser is not working now. Is there a way I can download Firefox onto a flash drive from my new desktop and install it on my old desktop?

I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.

Go to a suitable download page eg: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Download firefox, use the save option rather than install. Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.

However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.
