Java problem

I installed the latest version of Java (J2SE Runtime environment 5.0 Update 4). After installing, web pages work just fine, but after a restart of XP, if I try and load a page containing Java the whole IE browser shuts down.

I have uninstalled Java and re-installed several times and every time I install Java I get the same thing it works for a day or so then I get the browser shutdowns again.
