Iexplorer.exe application error

When I open Internet Explorer 7, I get an Iexplorer.exe application error.
The instruction at 0xc5fa1819 referenced memory at 0xc5fa1819. The memory
could not be read.

To attempt to fix the problem, I have ran ad-aware as well as McAfee.
I have tried running IE with no add-ons and get the same problem.
I have attempted to run Microsoft update and get the same error.
I have run a registry cleaner, still no luck
when I use about:blank as my home page, IE does not crash, but when I try to
go to another website it does
..
Any other suggestions? Everything else seems to work fine, I just have no
browsing capabilities.

Thanks

Who needs web browsing, anyway?

Alright...seriously: This is frequently caused by an incompatible
browser add-on. The troubleshooting steps described below will help you
to diagnose and fix the problem:

Problems with Internet Explorer can also be caused by the presence of
viruses or other malicious software.

Stay away from registry cleaners. They are a problem waiting to happen.

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup, please.

Run a /thorough/ check for hijackware, including posting your hijackthis log
to an appropriate forum.

When all else fails, HijackThis v2.0.2
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.exe) is the preferred tool to use (in
conjuction with some other utilities). HijackThis will NOT fix anything on
its own, but it will help you to both identify and remove any
hijackware/spyware with assistance from an expert. **Post your log to
http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html, or other appropriate forums for review
by an expert in such matters, not here.**

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA or Geek Squad) computer repair shop.
