IE6 crashes when viewing MS pages

Every time I open MSNBC, and sometimes on the MS.com site,
my browser crashes. I'm running IE6 on WinXP Pro. I figure
it has something to do with a Media Player hotfix but I
can't figure out which one.

Here is the error report info:

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106 ModName:
wmpdxm.dll
ModVer: 9.0.0.2980 Offset: 0001af9b

Never mind... I found this post which fixed it.

The following text is taken from
http://www.riffinteractive.com/FAQ.htm#FAQ15
Microsoft really messed up a lot of things with version 9
of the Windows Media Player... It can be fixed by
reverting back to a previous version
of the embedded audio player. This can be done with the
following steps:
1) Select Start > Run on your system
2) Type "regsvr32.exe msdxm.ocx" and hit Enter
3) You should see a message saying that "DLLRegisterServer
in msdxm.ocx succeeded".

....If you want to switch back to the version 9 embedded
player, follow these steps to reverse the process:
1) Select Start > Run on your system
2) Type "regsvr32.exe wmpdxm.dll" and hit Enter
3) You should see a message saying that "DLLRegisterServer
in wmpdxm.dll succeeded".
