I run IE6 under win98 on a Compaq Armada 1590DMT. When browsing web
pages everything locks up and I have to shutdown the and restart the
laptop to get things going again.
Any help on this will be appreciated.

B. You may 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. (For Win 98, 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.
If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini
