Help needed with Illegal Operation using Internet Explorer 5.5

I am getting the following illegal operation very frequently when using Internet Explorer.

EXPLORER caused a general protection fault
in module USER.EXE at 000d:0000060f.

I just loaded 5.5 last week, thinking it might solve my problem, but I'm still getting it. Anyone know what my problem is?
 
Microsoft is your problem. That is not an unlikley error to get. I guarantee everyone here has gotten that before. Just run some diagnostic programs and hope it doesn't happen so frequently.
 
Sometimes when you identify the file causing the problem (in this case USER.EXE) you can reinstall the file using the File extraction program in System Utilities from the windows disk.
Try to extract that file and reinstall it and see if the problem doesn't clear up. I just did it last week with the same error and everything is AOK since.
Be aware that if you are using the original version of Win98 you could run into a known bug when using System File Checker and try to extract a file. It could cause windows to lock up and there is a DOS work around to get the hard drive going again. Should be OK if you are using WIn98Se or higher.
 
You guys..........
Start,control panel, add remove programs, IE 5.5 , select it to remove....SLOW DOWN..see the box that says repair IE ? Select, continue, reboot, DONE !
 
First, flush your cache.

Second, use the repair feature as explained earlier.

Third, run scandisk from the command prompt.

If IE has the latest update, I've never had these three steps not fix that error.
