Various websites...

Some websites just close IE (version 6)down on my lappy.One in paticular belongs to a PH'er Steve Carter (Stevecarter.com)Any idea what setting on my laptop could be causing this?

Dunno, just punched in the URL and the site seems to pause when loading then continues... possibly Java loading or it's waiting for an external site to feed it data.

Any error messages appearing on your end?

Does Firefox close when you visit the site?

No,no messages IE just closes.
Yes firefox closes as well.It's a puzzler.

I'd suggest then that it's something the website uses which is common to both browsers. As both have totally sperate rendering engines I'm inclined to say that you should try updating your Java VM install.

There isn't much that FF and IE share in terms of rendering a page.

Just to put a closure on this one (if anyone's interested) I uninstalled and removed Java then reloaded and installed the latest version..all OK now.
