Internet Explorer crashes machine

Internet Explorer 5 causes my machine to crash as soon as I click on a link. This is a new problem.

I tried to unistall it (and then re-install)- but cannot see how to - the only options given were to repair broken files (that didn't work) or add components.

I downloaded and installed IE6 but the problem still remains.

Any ideas would be welcome

Do the following...

1. delete all your internet temporary files
2. delete all the cookies
3. do a windows scandisk on your pc
4. one more time, uninstall ie and reinstall ie6

Two things. First run a scandisk, this often corrects a problem. Second, boot to a dos prompt outside of windows by using your win 98 boot disk, then type scanreg / restore with a space between commands, and this will allow you to restore your machine to a previous date within the last 5 days. If this doesn't work, try a program called IERADICATOR, this will allow you to take IE out all together and re-install whatever version you like. If all else fails. use your boot disc and re-install win 98. Hope this helps
