Hi,
Windows XP or Vista?

Start with these 2 articles:
[Guided help] Internet Explorer stops responding, stops working, or
restarts:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/pc_ie_intro

926431- Error message when you start IE7 or try to access a website:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926431

Hope this helps,
