OE error when using IE 6

[Tobyn]

I am getting the following error when using IE 6. It may
be coincidence but it has only happened while checking my
hotmail account.

"An exception OE has occurred at 0028:C18BB74F in VxD
SymDNS(01) + 00000CEF. This was called from 0028:C0010218
in VxD NDIS(01) + 00005B30"

The only thing I have changed lately was to install the
Microsoft .NET framework v 1.1 last month.

Any ideas?

That's 0E, not OE.

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
