As far as I can tell, installing MSIE 4.0 is a big mistake.
It caused my system to crash every hour or two. I finally
had to uninstall it to get my life back to some normality.
I think I made a big mistake in responding yes to the
question of whether I wanted the desktop installed or
whatever the question was. I didn't try installing just
the browser (which is what I should have done), I didn't
realize the implications of installing the desktop component.
On the uninstall I got a bit of a scare when it didn't reboot,
but I managed to get it going again after playing around with
it a little (don't remember exactly what I did to recover -
maybe had to boot in safe mode).
MSIE 4.0 is EVIL! :)
