Perplexing Problem with IE4

After accumulating enough system bugs to turn whats left of my hair gray I
finally broke down and reformatted my hard drive then re-installed
everything.

Most of the bugs are gone now, except for this one:  Whenever I use either
Internet Explorer 4 or Outlook Express my system freezes. the only way out
of it is to re-boot.

This occurs when  I'm online and I try to scroll down the screen (not
immediately, but it doesn't take long). It only happens with Microsoft
products, and only when I'm online.

I thought maybe there was a problem with the dial up networking so I went to
the Microsoft site and downloaded version 1.2 as well as Winsock version 2,
and seemed to fix it - for a day. Now it's doing it again.

I'm using the latest versions of IE4 and Outlook Express. I also have
Netscape and Eudora on the system, but they cause no problems. I am using a
Cyrix 6x86 200MHz (non MX) chip - could that be part of it?

If anyone out there has run into this as well I would appreciate some help.
This has got me completely stumped.

TIA
Kevin Dyck
