Internet Explorer Kernel 32.DLL error

When using Internet Explorer 6.0, without warning I will
get a Kernel 32.dll error. Internet Explorer will either
close or freeze my workstation so that I have to power
down and power up the workststaion.

B. You may need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini

Frank,
I recently had other issues with spyware recently. I
currently use spybot "Search and destroy" but it doesn't
get it all. Could you recommend another product that I
could use along with search and destroy to get it all?

Thanks,
Walter
