Generally, faults in user.exe are caused by video driver problems. Turn down your hardware acceleration, display resolution or color depth and see if this helps. If so, then updating or reinstalling your video drivers will probably help. Go to the web site of your video card manufacturer and get the latest drivers for your card.

The site you mention uses Flash, so updating/reinstalling that might help:

I will have this to what you already have.

Cannot launch IE, however, I can launch Outlook Express, which leads me to
think that the problem is only with IE6.
Solved the problem. It was apparently caused by the free popup stopper
supplied by my ISP. Just deleted the popup stopper and everything is up and
running.
