Buffer overflow causes explorer.exe to show memory could not be read

After installing IE6 SP1 (when I installed Visual Studio
..NET), in explorer.exe I get this message (with changing
memory positions):
////////////////////////////////////
Application popup: explorer.exe - Application Error : The
instruction at "0x01edb710" referenced memory at
"0x01edb710". The memory could not be "read".

Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
////////////////////////////////////
I have used various programs to try and figure out what is
going on.

In Filemon.exe it happens after trying to access:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat

In regmon.exe I noticed that there are BUFOVRFLOW when
getting these registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\D
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\D\_GVI
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints\F\_GVI

This memory could not be read only happens when I
double-click the My Computer in explorer's folder's view.
It happens only when I double-click it or press the plus
sign. So basically it only happens when it has to show the
drives in the left side. But if this error occurs, I can
still use explorer afterwords and just not press OK, but,
of course, once you press OK it will terminate the program.

This is about as much information as I can find, any ideas?
