IE crashes User.Exe in Win98SE at autocomplete stage

[Laphan]

Hi Guys

Just set up a basic Win98SE PC for my wife to do her Internet course work,
but Google keeps crashing her IE as soon as the autocomplete box appears
under the Google main search field.

It basically brings up the red circle/white cross page fault (?) message box
saying that IE has crashed User.Exe and she has to keep re-loading an IE
window each time.

At first she was using IE 5.5 so I thought it was this and updated it to IE
6, but the problem still comes up.

Done an Ad-Aware/Spybot and then an IE repair, but still no joy.

This is about the only thing that crashes on it - any ideas?

I would suggest you download the latest file definition tables for AdAware
and Spybot and run them again. If still no joy the get help from this forum
as you may have a new variant.
