IE 6 crashes frequently

[DB]

I have the latest version of IE 6. Over the past month
or so, the browser crashes frequently. The crashes occur
when I open up a second browser window by clicking on a
link in my original browser window. After I view the
contents of the second browser window, both windows lock
up and I have to shut down IE. These files are included
in the error message that gets sent to Microsoft.

C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER332.tmp.dir00
\IEXPLORE.EXE.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER332.tmp.dir00
\appcompat.txt

I have deleted my temporary internet files, and this
doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?
