I use IE6 with Win XP, and whenever I visit certain
websites, I get a message telling me that IE has
encountered an error and has to close.

If anyone knows what causes this and how to fix it, I
would really appreciate it! Thanks!
 
When that error message comes up, click the blue link by "To see what this error report contains - click here". Need to know the App name and Mod name.

Or go to this article - Description and Availability of Internet Explorer Error Reporting Tool http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];Q276550 - scroll down for how to disable the Error Reporting Tool, and then let Windows capture the error the next time. There will then be an error box with a Details button. Need to know the XXXX caused a YYYY in module ZZZZ part. You can leave out the stack dump numbers. Also need to know the version of Windows the user is running.

Other expert posts seem to suggest turning off "Enable 3rd
party browser
extensions" in advanced IE options.
Did this, and for a moment, it appeared that that did the
trick.
Unfortunately, IE6 got just a bit further than before and
then crashed with
the same message.
Not funny any more !

Is this related to code (in one form or another) that
specific websites
download and run when the browser opens them ?

Given that so many people are reporting these errors, is
there a
consolidated MS response ? I read one of the KB
references, but it seemed to
apply to a specific offending product (plug-in). I
installed IE6, and have
had problems ever since - no chance to install any
toolbars etc.
My current (today's) list of sites that have caused IE6 to
crash:
www.whichcamera.co.uk
www.neff.co.uk
www.siemens.co.uk/default.asp?ref=contact_us
www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/... - how about that for irony!

I am running Win98.
