IE5 and IE6 Crash

[Gavin]

Hi,

IE5 and now an upgraded IE6 have both taken to crashing at relatively random
moments.

The error message merely states that an unexpected error has occured - and
one can close the screen. It isn't like a blue screen affair.

Any ideas what it might be? My only thought is that it might be related to
Java apps running on some websites. I'm running windows 98.

Ta.
