Yes there is a better browser than Internet Explorer. Download and install Firefox.
Click this link to go to the download site. To be totally honest I still get occasional problems with Firefox, much less than with Internet Explorer. Firefox is also (supposedly) much more secure and less likely to be attacked by hackers than Internet Explorer. Try it, it is very similar and after a while you may prefer it like I do. A very few web sites don't work properly with Firefox and I still use Internet Explorer occasionally.
