IE 6 causes illegal operation

[Mike]

When I install IE 6 Service Pack and try to run IE, the
browser won't open and I get an Illegal Operation message.
This also causes several other programs not to open. I
have to uninstall IE 6 just to get on the Internet. How do
I install IE 6 so I do not get the error message?

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.

More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
