Our university has a blackboard site, and recommends Firefox. I think it was initially having problems with IE8. Don't know if that's the case now.
Ah, they've taken the recommendation down. Must have resolved whatever issue there was...

I've used Blackboard recently and had no problems whatsoever with Internet Explorer 8. Try the IE 8 compatibility mode or if all else fails, you can try Firefox.

Are you saying only IE8 works or that nothing works, including IE8?
What's wrong with Starter? All versions of Windows 7 should run any available browser. But if you need to upgrade, I think there is something called an "In-place upgrade" that allows you to to pay an upgrade price and convert any version of Windows 7 into a higher version. That is, unless higher versions are not supported by the hardware.
