Runtime Error

[Nandita]

Whenever I run IE6 I get a runtime error that says

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program:C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate
in an unusual way.

Please help. What do I do? What will cause this? I
have been unable to find out.

Thanks
Nandita

Nandita,
The first thing to do is to scan your system for the possibility of
unknown\unwanted spyware or parasites that may be causing your problem(s).

Probable cause.
Runtime Library Microsoft Visual C++, Runtime Error Program
C:\Windows\Explorer.exe or Iexplore.exe, abnormal program termination.

I'm always looking for the solution in an the exact error message.
This time I jumped the gun. If the previous recommendation failed try this
one.

Runtime!
"Program: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\explore.exe"
The application has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
It appears that I have both Java(Sun) and MS VM on the PC. After
disabling/unchecking Java(Sun) the runtime error ceased in IE6.
