Explorer trubba

[vl_mungo]

After working just fine up until yesterday, my IE 5 suddenly stopped working. It would boot up, briefly show a window, and then I would get an “error type 2” message, and it would crash. I’ve tried downloading and reinstalling… as well, I also took a working version from another computer and imported that… same result.
Any ideas?
I’m running a MAC with OS 8.6, if that makes any difference.
