Suddenly IE crashes when run by administrator

[Mark Myers]

I recently discovered this problem when responding to a
notice from my ISP to download a new security patch from
Microsoft. Running Win2K Professional with multiple users
on the machine. When the administrator or any user with
administrator tries to run IE, I get the dialog that says
IE has encountered a problem and will abort, option to
send report, etc. This seems to be a new problem.

I downloaded and re-installed IE 6 but this doesn't seem
to have fixed the problem.

Thanks for any assistance.

Mark,
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).
