Denise,

Your issue could be due to a damaged/corrupted IE installation , due to
a spyware infestation, or even due to a hardware issue, to name just a
few causes . What, exactly, is/are the error message(s) (press ALT+D for
a detailed error message) or what is the exact description of your
system's/IE's behavior when these "crashes" occur ? Help us help you by
giving information ... IE 5.5, 6, 6 Sp1 ... ? Did the sites you had
visited use a great deal of Java, Flash,etc. ?
