abnormal program termination

[Guest]

I've been having a strange problem with IE6 ever since I downloaded a new
service pack, and I don't know if it's related to it or not. As I go from
site to site (sometimes opening a new site in a new window) I'll get an error
message saying "MS Visual C++ Runtime Library" and then it lists the path to
iexplore.exe, and says "abnormal program termination". Then it shuts down all
the explorer windows I have open. It's really annoying. Any ideas what gives?
Thanks. Dave

also make sure you don't have both the Sun JRE and the Microsoft VM JIT
compiler enabled.

Thank you for your help, and I've checked the link you provided, but I have
searched my hard drive and I don't find a CommonName file/program to remove.
Any other suggestions? I also don't know how to verify which compiler I have
enabled - (Sun JRE or MS VM JIT)
Thank you. Dave

I've searched my computer for "commonName", "Toolbar", "Agent", "Mib",
Zenet", "Winnet", and "Comwiz". It doesn't appear I have this bug. Or should
I be looking someplace else? And I don't know how to check if I have the Sun
JRE or MS VM JIT compiler enabled. Can you give me a little more direction,
or get me pointed to someone who can?

The section for Microsoft will be called Microsoft VM and the JIT compiler
needs to be checked if you want to select it. I don't know what the Sun JRE
will be called.

I've gone into Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and find no section regarding
MS VM or anything like it. (I have Windows XP Pro, btw). Any other
suggestions?
Thanks. Dave

Then having both active isn't the problem, is it?

won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
