| About |  |
Internet Explorer 5.5 is a minor update to the fifth version of Internet Explorer that was released in June 2000. Support for the 16-bit Windows 3.1x and the 32-bit Windows NT 3.51 were dropped in this release. The 32-bit version was made available for Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 SP3 and higher. Some minor updates are also added, including increasing the Cipher strength to 128-bit on Windows 9x. This is the last version of Internet Explorer that officially supports Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 versions prior to Service Pack 6a, but after Service Pack 2; the succeeding versions required Windows NT 4.0 SP6a and Windows 98 or newer.
A near-final, pre-release version of IE 5.5 is included in the RTM release of Windows Me.[1]
