When I close IE7 (by clicking on the X in the upper right corner) I
get an error that says "Internet Explorer has stopped working,
searching for a solution". This message stays on the screen for a few
seconds, then the window closes and a new IE7 window opens. This new
window can be closed normally. This error occurs almost every time I
close IE7!

My OS is Vista Home Premium, the OS and IE7 are current with Windows
updates. I believe this problem started either when I ran a windows
update OR when I accidentally landed on a crack page. McAfee warned
me the page was bogus, but possibly too late. FWIW though, my default
home page (About:Blank) still works OK.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Bill
