IE invalid page fault

[John]

For some reason Internet Explorer keeps shutting down and
it gives me this message:

EXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 015f:bff9dba7.

Some times I don't even have IE open and it will do this.
At times it locks up my computer. What's going on with it?

You probably need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (Start | Settings |
Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will see
little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.
