hi again marty

re your... "(1) Sometimes (a few times/week) when going to a URL, the Internet Explorer (Ver.5.0) window will open and the site appears to be opening and then suddenly the computer crashes going into a soft reboot and scan disk. Any idea why as other don't seem to be having the same problem with the same URLs? Yes, I've used CleanSweep and also emptied my cache and history first and it still repeatedly happens with the same URLs."

from the items you've listed that you've tried, it would appear that you have some symantec software on your puter. if you have either norton utilities or norton systemworks, i recommend that you run, in order

1) disk doctor
2) windoctor
3) speed disk

run these with all background applications shutdown via the 'close program' dialog accessed through ctrl + alt + delete.

let us know what you find

good luck

:)
