IE7, Windows XP. Updates were downloaded to IE7 a few days ago, and now,
every time I have multiple windows or tabs open, when I close one window, IE7
crashes. This is extremely annoying since I often work in multiple browser
windows. Please, please, please figure out why this is happening and fix it
:) Or, tell me why it's happening and let me know how to get around it.

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode?

To start IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No
add-ons).

2. If you uninstall IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6), does this
behavior persist?
