[fran_beta]

Yesterday, when clicking on the arrow icon to select previously typed
URLs in the adress bar, IE explorer haung and then prompted to send an
error report to Microsoft before closing

What is causing this and how can it be corrected?

Delete view off-line files not the pages File, Save as.

also..

It might be an AutoComplete/History problem. Try these steps and see if they
help:

1. Clear the History from Internet Options> General
2. Delete the History folder http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm
3. Use DelTypedURL from http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/delcache.htm to clear
the Address Bar dropdown list if clearing the History does not clear it
4. This may be a malware issue. Work through the solutions (CWShredder,
Ad-aware, Spybot) at
