I am using IE 6 with Windows XP professional. When I type a web address into
the address bar the page loads and then I get this error message: "Internet
Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." When I select the link from my favorite list it loads with no
problem. How do I avoid losing all of my windows when I need to type in an
address that I do not have saved as a favorite?
 
Hi,
Are you current on updates for IE and Windows? Several months ago a faulty
update was causing this problem. That was quickly corrected with a revised
update.

This might indicate a corrupted History folder. First, clear the IE history.
Next, if necessary, delete the History folder. A new one will be created on
restart.
The procedure [Windows XP]
Login as another user with administrator privileges, or from the machine's
default administrator account (startup in safe mode.) Make sure that you can
see hidden and system files (Folder Options> View) then delete the affected
History folder from Windows Explorer. It will be at [C:\Documents and
Settings\yourusername\Local Settings\History] Restart the computer.

Try disabling add-ons (IE> Tools> Manage add-ons.) One of them might be
causing this.

Or, this might be a malware problem (adware, spyware, hijackers, etc.)

Hi,
Go to Internet option's advanced screen and uncheck the option for enable
third party browser extension and then save settings.

Hi
Just wanted to let you know that we have noticed this problem ever since
Microsoft did their last update about a week or so ago. All our PC's are
having the same problem with IE saying it has encountered a problem and needs
to close (send/don't send report). I would advise sending the error report
since Microsoft cannot know of problems like this unless a lot of people
suddenly report it back to them. Its very frustrating since it has happened
to us a number of times in the middle of trying to pay for stuff online at
the point when we think the transaction has gone through - but in fact it
hasn't!
Microsoft - get your act together!

Next time click on the [click here] in the same dialog
and capture the Error Signature.

Hint: you can select and copy the text there using your mouse and keyboard
but there is no right-click menu associated with it. E.g. doubleclick on a word,
press Ctrl-a, Ctrl-c and then paste the captured text into a reply.

Not only did you not answer my question, I'm not even sure what your problem
is.
