Dell Computer Pentium III 192 MB RAM

     When Windows ME boots, an alert comes up on the desktop saying there has been 
a browser error and to click to restore my active desktop.  OK, so I click and my 
desktop is restored.  Then in about 15 to 20 seconds an error dialog box appears 
saying Internet Explorer has caused an error in the ~905371528.TMP file.  If I close 
this error dialog box, then the computer locks up.  If  I move the error dialog off 
screen  the computer will continue to run.  I usually run AOL 9.0 which will work 
fine until you quit from it.  Then the computer locks up.

  I thought I could fix this by repairing Internet Explorer.  But here's the strange 
thing, IE doesn't appear in the Add/Remove Programs list!  So, I can't do anything 
to repair it.  It does not appear in the Program FIles list either.


   I tried deleting the ~9053715278.TMP file, but the next time I booted the same 
error came up with the same file name!

   So, next I decided to re-install Windows ME.  I expected that this would install 
a clean copy of IE 5.5 and I'd be home free.  WRONG!  Exactly the same problem occurred 
with the same file name.

   Can anyone give me a clue as to what the problem is here????

    My next step is to try installing IE 6.0 but this is a dial-up connection so 
it will take quite a while.
