Windows crashes--this is a fact of life for any operating system. Because IE4 and W9x are tightly integrated, when IE4 crashes, the OS may crash, too. However, you can make IE open up in a new process when you're surfing the web (which will protect your OS a bit more). Open Internet Explorer, choose 'View' from the menu and select 'Internet Options'. Click the 'Advanced' tab; under 'Browsing,' be sure that 'Browse in a new process' is checked. Click 'OK' and you should be set!
