Internet Explorer Crashes When Visiting Certain Sites

[John Wheatcroft]

Why does internet explorer's browser stop upon visiting
particular websites. I have reinstalled Win 98 SE and used
Windows update to bring it up to internet Explorer 6. The
problem was there before though.

It does not like visitng any of the microsoft sites
directly or the macromedia sites.

I am about to replace the memory in this machine with true
branded memory, is this likely to be at fault.

all suggestion would be gratefully received

cheers john

++++++++++++++
Java issue?

Tools/internet options/advanced/Microsoft VM
....only tick the JIT compiler box and leave the Java boxes un checked
(default)

Parasite?
IE 6.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the malware is.
