Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to Close

[Ed Novak]

After using my computer for 1.5 years and not having any
problems accessing the internet with Explorer 6, I have
now started getting the following message:

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close.

Error Signature: AppName iexplore.exe AppVer 6.0 2600.0
Mod Name: winshow.dll
Mod Ver 1.0.0.1 Offset 00009901

I have reinstalled Explorer and reinstalled Windows XP to
no avail.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Please contact me at my email address (e-mail address removed)

thanks

I encountered the same problem today and ran
CWShredder.exe and it appears to have corrected the
problem.

Thanks for the tip
