IE5 crashes on contact with server

[Al_Mabbott]

I'm running IE5 on Windows 98, and it's been running pretty flawlessly
up until now. However, the last few times I've tried to send/receive
e-mail, the program crashes just as it's about to start downloading.

An error message flashes up about an "illegal operation", details of
which read:

MSIMN caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at
0177:bfa7a195
Registers:
[didn't bother to copy all this down, but I can if it would help]
Bytes:
[ditto]
Stack dump:
[ditto]

Anyone come across this before and know what's gone wrong and how to
fix it?

Thanks,

Alastair

What the hell am I saying?? Of course, I meant Outlook Express 5 not IE5.
