anywhere on my machine
I have used add-ware to check for any virus, all seems to be clean

Major cause for such problems is a curropt file. Your Internet
Explorer file is currupt thats maybe due to Viruses or Data
curruption.

Here are the steps that I recommend you take immediately:
1. Close all unnecessary running programs.

2. Download and Install "Firefox" internet browser (Your Internet
Explorer is currupt, need to use a more reliable browser for the
moment).
-- http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox&os=win&lang=en-US

3. Run a Virus scan over the internet using Trend Micro's House Call
virus scanner using Firefox browser that you just installed:
-- http://www.trendmicro.com/en/home/us/enterprise.htm
-- Let it delete all Viruses/Trojans that are found.

4. Download and Install new version of Internet Explorer directly from
Microsoft's Download page:
-- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&displaylang=en

5. Try runninng Internet Explorer to see if it crashes again.

6. IF the problem continues, you either have to re-format your machine
and start a fresh installation. OR You could try and see if Firefox
can do the job for the moment. NOTE I recommend you upgrade to Windows
2000 at least.

Cheers

Hello Sergano
Thank you for your responce also.
I have downloaded firefox prior to this G-plea for this problem and
have performed a typical problem solver as you sugested, However to no
avail.Therefor,Yes I have checked for any -all virus via several free
and pay virus programs,Yes I have removed and installed the newest
version of IE 6. Untilizing firefox browser and the like the error
still appears because the MSN investor toolbox is at there site. I am
now looking into multipal auto fill type filler programs and to see
how password effect the log on proceedure. This problem never exsisted
until I down loaded MSN upgrade for virus and other types of
protection.
However to format my hard drive respectively and start over would be
like to knock down my house and build a new one because I had a
blinking light.
Iam sure I will eventually resolve this issue, problems are only what we make them.
Thanks for you input.
Regards-Goumba
