When I try to open IE the following error message appears:
Iexplore has casued an error in USER.EXE
Iexplore will now close.
If you continue to experience problems,
try restarting your computer.

I have already restarted the computer numerous times,
uninstalled IE and then reinstalled it. Does anyone know
how to fix this problem? Thanks.

USER.EXE errors are virtually always related to video drivers.
Have you updated your drivers instead of just reloading? Also, reducing
