Friend of mine is a computer school graduate, took a
course. Says that Outlook Express will work up to
Internet Explorer 6, but not newer.

Your friend just flunked because he/she is dead wrong.

Aparently, if I upgrade to IE7 or the new IE8, then Outlook Express won't
work any more.

Nonsense

Most of the web sites out there balk at Internet Exploder
6, and insist I upgrade. I upgrade, and OUtlook Express
stops working.

If it stops working it is not because you upgraded IE. And as I said, there
are other browsers.

What's with the "old"? If you installed XP on the new
drive, you also installed IE and OE. OE will work just
fine; AFAIK, it has no dependencies upon IE but even if
it did, you have a pristine install of it. You may
have problems with IE - that version is old now - on
some sites unless you update Java and Flash and maybe
even then; you might need to update it too via MS.
There are other browsers.
