I have a Mac G3 beige tower, 233mhz, OS 8.6, 320mb RAM. When I have
multiple windpws open, and close one, Explorer quits, and shows a
window showing a type 11 error has occurred. This was happening with
64mb RAM, I upgraded to 320mb, still happens. I increased the memory
allocation for Explorer from 30000 to 100000, no change. Any ideas are
welcome.

For general IE weirdness, I usually recommend deleting the following...

Mac HD:System Folder:Preferences:Internet Preferences
Mac HD:System Folder:Preferences:Explorer:History.html
Mac HD:System Folder:Preferences:PPC Registration Database
Mac HD:System Folder:Preferences:MS Internet Cache:

Note that deleting the first file will reset some appearance options and
cookies in IE.

If that doesn't work, perhaps one of your MS PPC libraries is corrupt, or
maybe there is a corruption in the Text Encoding Converter or Text Encodings
folder.
