Hi Mike
Please post the version of Windows you are using. Do you get an error
message when IE closes? If so, post the exact wording of the message.
Did you recently install the MS05-014: Cumulative security update for
Internet Explorer (867282)?
If so, check the information here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/867282
You might also try uninstalling it and see if that will help.
If not, then check the following:
Clearing the TIF Cache -
Safely Delete the Temporary Internet Files

Go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab
Try uncheck "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts' if it is checked.
Then see if that helps.
If you have any 3rd party toolbars, such as Google or Yahoo, disable them.
If you have Yahoo companion, uninstall it, and see if that helps.
Also....follow the information here to make sure your system is fully clear
of any scumware that may be causing the problem. Be aware, there are many
types of scumware that your antivirus and some removal tools cannot detect
or remove. Therefore, it takes a variety of programs and used as described
in the instructions here. Some variants can continue to replicate
themselves each time your computer starts up if not properly removed.

Hope this helps.
