I have trouble with certain websites. I log on to the website and everything is ok. I then choose an option to go to a different portion on the same site, and it says Internet Explorer has encountered an error and must shut down. When I click for details , it says Microsoft has no solution for this error. I noticed this when I logged on to my credit union website. I log into my account and it shows my balance. I then click on the checking account summary link and I get the error message. The same thing happens on Dictionary.com. I log onto the site, and when I type in a word and hit search, I get the same error message. My credit union site works fine from the computer in my office. What should I do?

In the window search for Internet Explorer 6 and proceed to download it.
