My problem is very similar except that it doesn't usually happen at
start up of the program. It is usually after I've opened a page or
two. I'm wondering if it has started happening when I'm on sites that
allow some sort of search. Not all sites. But over the last few
hours the problem seems to have gotten worse. Lately I have been
doing a lot of research and have added quite a few favorites in order
to keep up with the data I am collecting. I have cleared the cashe,
cleared the history and installed the very latest version of Explorer.
Still happening. I'm on MacOS 10.3.4. Any help or ideas would be
appreciated. Thanks
Try repairing permissions.
For OS 10.2/10.3:
Go to Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities. Open up Disk Utility. Select
your hard disk, then click the First Aid tab. Click the button to "Repair
Disk Permissions".
For OS 10.1.5:
Download the Repair Privileges utility, free from Apple, and run it:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106900>
Run Disk First Aid. Instructions on how to run it in OS X are located on
the Apple Knowledge Base.
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214>
Drag /Users/<Your User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfig.plist
and com.microsoft.explorer.plist to the Desktop. Re-launch Internet
Explorer and see if it crashes. If it still does, move the Internet
Preferences files back. If it does not, you can trash the Internet
Preferences files.

It still crashes immediately. :( I noticed several Explorer files did
need to be repaired when I ran the First Aid, but apparently it wasn't
repaired enough. And what is the prupose of dragging those two files
onto the desktop?
