Having used facebook successfully for several weeks, I was sent a link to an
update for an existing application. Now when I try to log in to facebook I
get a message saying "Incompatible browser". I am using Windows Vista with
IE7. Can anyone help, please!

Thanks Sandy

How do we find out what "a link to an update for an existing
application" means?

In an email received from a member facebook(trustworthy) there were a number
of links to click on for an updated version of the family tree application on
the facebook site. This would appear to a new version of facebook itself.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed? What
anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)? What third-party firewall
(if any)?

9 times out of 10, the error's caused by your third-party firewall. Does
the behavior persist if you disable it AND THEN ENABLE the Windows Firewall?
