I heard a suggestion a long time ago, tried it, and it's working perfectly:
 Install the 16-bit version of IE3.  I HAVE to use IE4 for one project I'm
doing at work, and I HAVE to use IE3 for another.  (Sigh.)  I decided to
try this, as my only alternative was to work on a 486-25 with 8Mb of RAM...
 Ooooohhh...  I don't know if it matters which you install first, but I
already had IE4, then installed IE3.

Someone mentioned recently that this was dangerous because 16-bit
applications aren't meant to run on 32-bit systems.  Someone came back
pointing out that a lot of popular programs are actially 16-bit programs
and run fine on 32-bit OSs.  (I have NT.)  I can say I did this weeks ago
and have had no problems whatsoever.  And I didn't have to work on that
486-25! <g>
