have you tried to do a repair of IE, if using IE6 w/sp1 go to add/remove programs under control panal, click on explorer, click repair, reboot, and see if that helps aswell, good luck

Also use search and see if there is a program file named "unknown". If found delete it. Run a full virus scan as they are known to cause this problem also.

See, here we go again. Yet another person with this same problem. IE Repairs and 
reinstalls and all the virus and spyware scans in the world do not help this issue, 
nor does looking for some program named, 'unknown'. Soon, your Windows Explorer will 
start crashing when you right click something, you watch.

I can't wait to read some real help regarding this spreading problem beyond "try 
a repair" or "go read this", or "update your virus defenitions and do a full system 
scan."

yep, lots of people have the problem. a link below to illustrate. first thing to do is go to control panel, internet options, set the home page to blank, delete all files, clear history, delete cookies. prob. won't fix this situaiton but will take care of some errors. then--if it were me (but I use spyware blaster and never get spyware) I'd back up files and do a clean install of windows. but, like mac, I'm prepared, have data on partitions other than c and have a ghost file of a fully set up windows me with all updates on a cd. in your case, how about downloading and using a different browser and see if you can at least be on the net until you find a solution? I'm using firefox from www.mozilla.org. if anyone is posting here by mistake and has windows XP then they may have the blaster virus. doesn't affect ME. good luck! the link- http://www.techimo.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-112951.html
