Runtime Error

[Ed Romain]

I am getting the following error while running Internet
Explorer 6:

Runtime Error
Program: C:\windows\explorer.exe
abnormal program termination

This just shuts everything down.

I am running window 98.

How do I fix this problem?

Thanks
Ed Romain

Ed,
There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite)

Download, install, update and run these two programs:
Ad-aware from http://www.lavasoft.de/software/adaware/
Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/
