it's a error that occured, but internet explorer is unsure what the cause of the error is, it's caused by spyware, scan your pc with ad-aware and spybot, then re-install internet explorer

The unknown errors happen because of coding practices. Probably an exception handler. It goes something like this:
---------------
Do something
Do something else
Try {
Do something dangerous
}
Catch any errors from try block{
is error #1?
print "Don't DO that!"
go somewhere else.
is error #2?
Print "hard drive missing!"
go somewhere else.
is other error?
Print "Unknown Error!"
Show blue screen of death.
}
No errors from try block, so
Keep doing stuff
Keep doing more stuff
-------------------
Now, the stuff in the "catch" block only runs if there was an error in the "try" block, otherwise it's skipped and the program continues normally.
So a programmer writes something like this, and can't write code to cover every conceivable error or he misses one or another programmer added something to the "dangerous" code or most of the program is inside a "try" block just in case someone forgets to put one where it's really needed. Or a combination of factors.

That's how you get "unknown error" exceptions.

In general, an unknown error happens when something is not successful but you have not prepared for this particular type of failure.

For a real-world example, say your car won't start. Well, you have a spare battery in case you have a battery problem. And you have a spare starter you can change out if that's the problem. If either of those happens, you're prepared and can deal with it, even though it's a pain. But if the problem is that the fuel filter is clogged and you don't have a spare one, you're not prepared for it and may not even have a clue what is wrong.

Wow. Didn't mean to go on so long and I'll shut up now...

is there anyway, to get XP to slow down on restarting from a BSoD? I'd ctually like to read the error report, to try and figuyre out the problem. Having a BSoD that pops up for a literal second, is kind of tough to read.
