Browser Compatibility Error       

When attempting to access a site on the Intranet, you receive an error stating that the browser you are currently using is not compatible with <NAME OF SITE>.  Please use Microsoft Internet Explorer v7 or better.  The text may list a different version number or be slightly different.  The key is that the message is telling you that you need a different version of Internet Explorer to access the site.  In most cases, the issue is that your browser version is newer than the version for which the site was written, and that is why you are getting the error.
