This problem is caused by the registry becoming too large for a Windows 95-based computer with 8 MB of RAM to open.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
