From the (partial) error message you posted, it appears you may be running Dr.
Watson, which intercepts and interprets error messages. Please turn off Dr. Watson
so that you can get a more standard "illegal operation" error message, repeat the
action which causes the error, then when you get an "illegal operation" error
message, click the "Details" button, and post back with the exact details word for
word, up to but not including the memory registers.

YW.

But Glen is on the right track, also. Turn off Dr Watson or whatever it
is that is intercepting your errors. They're great for techies with
access to the source code, but not very informative. Easier to find
answers online using standard Windows error messages.

SOP is to find out what you can using standard error message, then try
IE Repair (even if it isn't apparently an IE-related error, since IE is
well enmeshed in the OS), and then try force-reinstalling IE.

If none of those steps work, then you really *do* have a problem, <s>.
