When I open another instance of Internet Explorer 6.0 I
get the following error message:

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close.

Here are the details from the technical report:

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName:
winshow.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.8 Offset: 00002156

Does anyone else have the same issues?
 
This could be anything:

First, be sure your antivirus software has the latest definitions and run a
virus scan.

Assuming you have an XP CD and not a recovery CD, place the XP CD in the
drive, when the setup screen appears, select "Check System Compatibility,"
the report it generates may point to problem hardware or software on your
system. If you do not have an XP CD, you can download this application
known as the Upgrade Advisor from the following site:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/howtobuy/upgrading/advisor.asp
Note: If you have access to a broadband connection it might be best to
download using that as this is a rather large download.

Check for the latest drivers for your hardware, especially your graphics
card and soundcard and all peripherals connected to your system. No not use
Windows Update for this, go to the device manufacturer's web sites and if
you install updated drivers, ignore the message about drivers being unsigned
by Microsoft.
 
Hi Imran,

This error is caused by a spyware called WinShow (based on the Mod Name you
posted).

Here are the removal instructions:
