Gmail give error message

I'm running IE6 on XP and "lately" everytime I try to open my gmail
account, 
as soon as I get to the login page I get the "Send"/"Don't
Send" errror 
message: Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We 
are sorry for the inconvenience.

I've read through some of the previous threads regarding similiar issues but 
didn't locate a real solution for my case...

Windows version?  What toolbars do you have installed?

Running Windows XP. Standard, address & Links toolbars.

Since you mention it, there was an unwanted google toolbar that popped up a 
few weeks ago and I ran virus scans to remove it.... if that helps any.

Sounds fishy to me!

Unexplained computer behavior may be caused by deceptive software

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log 
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use. 
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with 
assistance from an expert.  **Post your log to

http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, 
http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7, 
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30, or other appropriate forums for review 
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this 
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and 
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
