IE 6 Crashes on opening

D

David

Hey Guys,

I wanted to see if anyone else here was expirencing the
same problems that I am.

I am running Windows XP on a pretty good machine (500 mb
ram plenty of disc space, and a 1.8 ghz processer) and
recently (2 days ago) my windows update client notified me
that an update was available. I installed it and rebooted
my computer only to find that whatever the update was
totally disabled my IE 6 would not work at all, but instead
immediatly upon opening it would crash, bringing up the
error report thing. I send in the report and click the
more information link that comes up. Now this link tells
me that I need to download an update for the browser, the
only catch is that windows update will only work with IE,
which at this point only crashes.

Anyone else having this problem?

Hi there David,

* Click Start, Run, type "Inetcpl.cpl" (w/o quotation marks) and click OK.
* Select Advanced tab, under Browsing section, deselect "Enable third party
