O.P. IE6 Issue
I'm running windows XP with SP1 and I'm having an issue with IE crashes all the time and firefox is fine.  I've cleared the cash, temp files and history...I'm also cleaned it with spybot programs.  What else can I try.  Can I try uninstalling and re-installing IE?

he can't install IE7... IE7 can only be installed on SP2 and above.

I would suggest u to install Service Pack 2 (if urgent) and install IE7. Otherwise use Firefox, or wait till Service Pack 3 final comes out then install it.

Just trying to figure out the quickest way of doing it, with less amount of work.  My dad is in real estate and he needs a computer so thought maybe if i uninstall IE6 and re-install it that may work.

Well, you can remove IE from windows. You don't ever want to though. It's some sort of hack and IIRC something else in Windows stops working. If you can't upgrade to IE7 and don't want to try FF/Opera/Netscape you can either download Avant or Maxthon (Both use IE to browse and may work quite well for you) or possibly even downgrade (if it lets you) to IE 5.5 (and if you want try, IE 6 again)

EDIT: That site works perfectly fine in FF and Netscape
