i have a problem with my ie6. when my computer starts up, i receive a script error with the "yes" and "no" boxes to check. even tho it always occurs, it has not really given me problems till now. when i click yes or no it stops responding and my computer hangs. when i right click the internet explorer icon, the "not responding" window comes up and says that dr.watson has stopped responding. after that, my whole computer also hangs. is there a way to fix this? thank god i have firefox already installed if not i wouldnt be able to reach this forum.

Sounds like you're going to have to do a repair install... did you install SP3 by any chance? Did this start happening afterward (if you did install it)?
