Browser crashing

[spackler]

I am getting the following error in Yahoo Messanger and
Track-It - The unknown software exception (0xc00000fd)
occured in the application at location 0x70c85bef.
click on OK to terminate the program
click on CANCEL to debug the program

I am posting this to the IE discussion because the problem
in Track-It is occuring because it is using a html based
file as its main screen and this file is causing the
crash. When I try and open the file up in IE it crashes as
well, but it gives me the "Microsoft Internet Explorer has
encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for
the inconvenience."

Yahoo messenger crashes when I try to send or when someone
sends me and instant message.

IE crashes at certain frew websites, but most work okay. I
have looked at the html of the sites and the above file
but don't see anything in common that would cause the
crash.

I have reinstalled all 3 programs.

Anyone have any ideas?

Rule out parasites.

Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
