internet explorer freezing computer!

hey everyone,

i've got a computer here that freezes up when using internet explorer. if it gets used for 5 minutes or so, the computer will seize up... the only way to reset it is to hit the reset button. one site in particular freezes it immediately: www.road.com. when that site is loading up, it'll freeze. if you check the site out, as it loads, it gives 2 swirling loading boxes on the first page, those won't completely load before the computer freezes. it's a windows 98se machine running ie6 w/sp 1. it also has the latest version of macromedia veiwer (since road.com uses flash). any ideas?

IE6 on 98 can be a royal pain - revert it to 5.x.

Add/Remove Programs - IE6 - add/remove - restore previous configuration. Repeat till you are back to 5.x.
