I did all what was said and it still appears with:

Iexplore has caused and error in <unknown>
Iexplore will now close.

If you continue to experiance problems,
try restarting your computer.

I'm on Win ME this seems to only occur when accessing
online accounts. I've also got the new IE version
6.0.2800.1106.

Any more help would be greatly appreciated as i have piles
of yahoo mail building up.
