I have a New IBM R40 Thinkpad with OEM Installed Windows XP Pro. Internet Explorer 6 crash's everday and sometimes other Software too.
Is it to do with Java?
It is usually Exception and sometimes with
MShtml.dll ?
Thanks Sam

There is a number of reasons IE6 could become unstable and crash,the possibility of updating your Java files
MShtml would be a part of the Java files that could be crashing,check Tech Republic for past questions on MShtml.dll errors and fixes.
check Microsoft Knowledge base for fixes
Using the Add/Remove Programs,click the Remove button and try repairing or restoring to a previous version of IE

It happens to me before IE6 crashes giving you error messages. I don't if it is java, since IE5.5 is stable. So I decided to stick with IE5.5 for now until IE6 is securea and stable.
