[George Halabi]

When I start ie6 I get the following message/details:

This program has performed an illegal operation and will
be shutdown.
Details>> IEXPLORE caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff83ba0.

I tried to uninstall and repair. also, I updated with
service pack. the problem still persists.

Please help. Thank you.

You probably 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. (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.

Also, check your system for hijackware:
