If AutoComplete is enabled and an entry in your History folder is damaged, you will experience this problem.
To resolve the problem:
1. Temporarily disable AutoComplete using Control Panel / Internet / Advanced.
2. Close all IE windows.
3. Logon as an administrative users whose History folder is not damaged and delete it.

In Windows NT 4.0 or a NT 4.0 upgraded to Windows 2000,
the History folder is at %SystemRootProfilesHistory.
