Over the last week my machine (Win2K Pro with IE6 all service packs
and updates installed) has started to freeze when using IE6. THis is
a severe problem, the only way to recover from a freeze is to pull
the power from the machine and reboot. Everything freezes and I
cannot use CTRL ALT DEL or anything else, it just stops.
This problem has only occured during the last week all other
applications appear to work correctly.
Thanks in advance for your help

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
