I've been following this topic with interest. As I understand it, the most
IE4 problems happen when you have NT.
Another problem happens when IE4 asks if you'd like to store IE4 in another
directory. Don't do it. It causes problems. Just let IE4 install where
the setup program suggests.
These problems are known and Microsoft should provide a solution. Do be
certain that you have the absolute latest version. Microsoft is making
fixes to IE4 constantly.

These opinions are my own and have nothing to do with QUALCOMM.
