Every time I press the IE icon, the program generates an
error and I get a message it will be closed by windows.

I have win2000pro, I tried reinstalling service pack 6.1
(using my backup Avant browser which still works) and
nothing helps.

HELP....
 
Check if a program running in the background is interfering with Internet
Explorer. Temporarily disable all Norton programs, including anti-virus, win
doctor, recycle bin protect, and clean sweep. Disable any firewall or
ad-blocker.
 
Hi Gil,

To test with: Disable third-party browser extensions in Internet
Explorer
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Internet Options.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. Under Browsing, clear the Enable third-party browser extensions
(requires restart) check box.
5. Restart Internet Explorer.
