Hi, first, my specs. Pentium 3 1GHz 512 MB Ram 100 GB's HD Space (60/40 - 2 drives) Windows XP Pro Internet Explorer 6.0 (maybe even greater, beta version perhaps, I can't remember if I downloaded it or not, heh.) Ok, here's the description of my problem. Internet Explorer will open fine, but will only open ONE window. If a second window opens, or a pop-up window opens up, IE crashes. Also, if one IE window is open, and I open any program that uses IE in any fashion, IE will crash that program. For example, when I open up Grokster, because Grokster uses IE within its program, IE will crash, as well as Grokster crashing. Also, if I have one IE window open and open MoodLogic, MoodLogic will crash, as well as IE. And now, I just found out that if I have IE open (or any program that uses IE), I cannot use Netscape 6, because then Netscape will crash! Please HELP! Here is the error message: AppName: explorer.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0 ModName: msctf.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.29 Offset: 0001593f Can anyone help me? Please email me your replies, as well as posting on the site, I don't know if I will check the site for awhile. Thanks. - Tim

Are you sure that your crashes are strictly confined to Internet Explorer activity? Is the rest of your system running fine - and has it been running fine for at least a week? If so, then do two things. 1. Download the complete and final version of IE6, because that's how I got rid of my "beta weirdness" with IE. 2. After any subsequent reboots due to #1, go to the Windows Update site, and download all of the updates that are available. You might want to stay away from the 20 MB .NET download though - if you're a single end user on your machine. That should take care of the problems. Hey Intel, AMD rulez!

Isn't explorer.exe Windows Explorer (file manager) rather than Internet Exploder?
