Here's what it tells me :-

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/stoke3/ieError.jpg

I've had a similar Error Message to that happen with various things,
(mainly OutLook Express, but not with Internet Explorer)

But it seemed to randomly occur & it hasn't happened for a while.

It's happened twice this morning and I can't think why. I printed
the screens of both of them and they are identical.

Even right down to the Hexadecimal Memory Addresses?
0x7e1f9b17 (that's the Memory Address of the Instruction)
0x7dc48960 (that's the Memory Address it was trying to access)

Is the prob repeatable?

Used several other progs between the two hangings and have used
IE earlier and it didn't hang. And have just opened it to see which
IE I have and it didn't hang.

When it next happens, see if you can work out what particular thing
you were doing taht triggered it - just opening a Web Page, or Copying
& Pasting from it, or Printing, Scrolling down it, or Clicking a Link
or whatever.

Nothing new installed. Just a Win Update yesterday

Oh, oh!...
Sounds like that may be the culprit?

... for something or other on my motherboard - told Ray what it was
and he said get it. Oh, he says it was a Rhine Ethernet update.

Hmmm.
That's the VIA Ethernet NIC (Network Interface card) Adaptor.
Do you use that Ethernet Connection for your Internet Connection?

If not, then yo ucan prolly do with out it.
& even if you do, then unless the Update addresses a Security Issue,
you can prolly do without it.

I dunno why it would cause that particular Error in Internet Explorer
though.

Did a sys restore before getting it so I can roll back

I thought windoze created a System Restore Point anyway, when you do
a windoze Update taht affects anything like Drivers?

I dunno if theres any real advantage in having umpteen different
Restore Points, if they (or many of them) actually restore back to
the same state.

All they will do is use up Disk Space & cause Confuzzlement in trying
to work out which one is which.

but I wouldn't have thought it could do this!

Neither would I - but you never know!
:-(

Anyone any thoughts?

Yep.
See abaove.
:-)

Win XP SP2 and all the updates offered!
IE6.0.2900 if that helps :-)

Since you do seem to have pinned it down to that windoze Update,
it may well be worth a try doing a System restore.
& then wait for a patch for the update!

Those "Instruction referenced memory at ... memory could not be read"
Errors are very hard to specifically pin down the exact cause of them.
