IE6 Crashes when using the "search" function

[Sweeper]

Think I've tried about everything but haven't figured this one out. Using IE6, when trying to use the "Search" function, either IE6 will crash back to the desktop or "PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND ERROR" will appear. Now I can do a search on the MSN page, but clicking the button on the Tool bar causes a crash....

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sweeper

I don't know what happened. I don't remember it happening after any particular update. I've tried reinstalling IE6 etc. HELP??

TrafficSyndicate, the makers of HuntBar, offer 'co-branded' versions of HuntBar which may be installed by other sites under a different name. Known partner sites include bullseyesgames.com and side-search.com.

Advertising: No.
Privacy Violation: HuntBar sends the domain name of the site being viewed, the domain name of any site previously being viewed and the title and any keywords in the current page to its controlling servers whenever a new site is viewed. It does this even if the toolbar is not turned on.
However, it does not (currently) use a cookie or unique ID to track visits across sites.

Got rid of that, but, now I have no search feature from the toolbar. I click on search and get either the error or IE crashes still.
