You did not say the version. Or the error message. I guess you have to do all the standard stuff. Run the IE5 repair routine, or reinstall it.

If your ver. is 5.5 sp1 and it keeps crashing when you exit it... I have seen this on manny computers, I guess there is a bug in it. The solution is to uninstall it and downgrade back to ver. 5.0, on some computers this ver. is more stable !

You didn't supply much info about the errors in IE5...BUT running the same OS with IE5 and a small Internet aware program called Gator (Gator saves your Internet passwords for you) caused a similar problem for one of my clients. Gator has a patch to correct the crash and is available at www.gator.com
The patch worked, too...no more IE5 crashes. Or you could uninstall the Gator app.
