IE Keeps Crashing
It might be a browser add-on (either intentionally or unintentionally installed) installed on your computer. Various forms of adware (spyware) or even tools from Yahoo and Google tie into the browser.
Check out this article re BHO Cop and download/test it. It might just resolve your problem.

IE Keeps Crashing
If you have checked for bho's and adware and have found none then I guess you have a couple of options. This link provides numerous things to try when you encounter kernl32 errors:

Something might work for you or maybe none of the suggestions might work. There are many many reports of errors with ie6 and every operating system. I am running ie6 on w2k, winme and win98 machines and have not run into any errors with any of the machines. Others have not been so lucky. For most, when they reverted back to their previous version all of their problems went away. Obviously there is a conflict with your machine and ie6 (video driver, hardware acceleration, etc). I guess it boils down to how much time you are willing to expend to find the problem. If you are really inquisitive and want to find the solution, try the link above. If you are just sick of it and want an explorer that works, try reverting back.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

IE Keeps Crashing
ABout 3 weeks ago, and up to now, IE crashes after using it about 20-30 minutes. Every time, it never fails. The first message indicates there was a problem with IEXPLORE and will shut down. I click OK, then the screen turns black and I get a second message:
"Kernal32 caused a general protection fault in module KRNL386.EXE at 0001:000075a2"
That last message only appears about 50% of the time. However, I always have to reboot my machine.
I'm running W98 SE with 128MB RAM and a 20GB HD. Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?
