IE error

[SPS]

I have been getting an error with explorer

"iexplore has caused and error in <unknown> . . . . . "

What can I do to find the offending program?
The machine uses a dialup and won't connect to the net
because explorer fail. By the way a similar error comes
up with netscape, opera and netcaptor

any suggestions?
