Internet Explorer 6x users, take note: Microsoft has posted a downloadable workaround for some IE crashes.
It seems these crashes started happening after users installed the newest security update (Which Microsoft describes in its December 11 Security Bulletin MS07-069 as a "critical update"). Your Windows XP system may have installed the fix as part of the routine updates.
So you might want to revisit the Microsoft Download Center to get the fix for the fix. Microsoft doesn't explain much, but says the update "resolves an issue." If you have issues, the innocuously named IE fix KB946627 might keep IE6 surfing properly.
Recently, possibly because of the MS original "fix", MS IE6 continually crashes ("Not Responding"). I installed this fix of a fix and noticed NO improvement whatsoever. MS IE6 continues to crash in the middle of essential web-based transactions. I, for one, intend to shift to Mozilla Firefox as an immediate solution. In the longer-term, MS IE poor reliability has convinced me that there's ZERO future in MS and will shift to web-based and Apple OS X based solutions. MS, you finally pushed it to the point of losing me!
