Sounds like a little bit of an older machine...
IE IS installed on ALL windows machines, even though you don't think it is. Windows was sued over this a while back. If you go in and delete the following folder:
c:\program files\internet explorer and then down the stuff you need. HOWEVER: download the file to another computer and then copy it over first.

Down load Firefox 2 web browser it is more secure and faster than IE6 you can easily set it up to clear all cookies and private data, plus all the history just follow the setup instruction

maximum probable that's a topic with Flash or some plug in crashing this technique. try switching to Firefox and notice in case you have comparable issues. you may might desire to uninstall the upload-ons to IE and/or reinstall IE thoroughly to get it to artwork easily lower back.

he should have had windows explorer if he had windows. maybe not the most current version, but he should have it.

this should help you. if he reinstalls IE he should be fine.
