I have a recurring problem that is getting worse. I will be in the middle
something and receive the message that IE has to shut down due to error. And
then it shuts down. Now it's happening several times a day or more. I have
not added anything unusual to my computer that I'm aware of. I have Windows
XP Home Edition. Could someone help me?

I have this same problem for many weeks. The suggested solution was to close
all add-ons, but this does NOT solve the problem at all. I have given up on
this and use Firefox, which runs fine.
May be someone will come up with the solution.

Wrong words. The suggested _diagnosis_ was first to use No Add-ons mode.
If No Add-ons mode changes the symptom that would suggest that disabling
some of the Add-ons using the Manage Add-ons tool could be a useful
circumvention of the problem symptom. Having identified the problem cause
the resolution then would be to remove or repair the incompatible add-on
--or just leave it disabled.

There are some add-ons and device drivers which can not be disabled
by these procedures; so then more generalized troubleshooting techniques
would have to be used. See the Knowledgebase articles which the following
search finds for details:

That is another way to circumvent the problem symptom
without bothering at all to try to identify its cause. ; )
