Great question, Sean. I agree that the message sounded strange, but I have to do tech support long distance with many of my students. A version problem could be the culprit - I will confirm that with the student today.

I know Google dropped support for IE 8 last year thus prompting many tech blogs to recommend the switch to Firefox or Chrome, but it sounds like this is some kind of message issued by the OS or IE that he needs to switch to a newer browser.
