Tamara, I occasionally have the same problem with Internet Exploder, in fact, I just checked and it's doing it on this iBook I'm using.
This has worked for me, but not every time, mind you: Trash IE, as you did before, then go into your preferences folder and trash everything you can find that has anything to do with IE or Explorer or MS internet, such as cache and history files. As you probably already know, though, if you don't save your favorites file and replace the one in the new install, you will lose all of them. By the way, the latest version is 5.2.3, so make sure that's what you have. In OS 9, if you reinstall a program but don't dump the prefs, you are running off the old, possibly corrupted prefs, which could have been the source of the problem. I'm am assuming that OSX works the same way. Problem with dumping prefs is that there could be a programs registration info stored there, so a backup record is essential for anything that isn't freeware. IE is free of course, but then, is it really. Good luck. As you, I long for the day when IE can be trashed forever.
