IE won't open

[Don]

When I try to start IE it opens a window with the
following statement

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If I look at the error it says

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2600.0 ModName:
ddrbnhml.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.1 Offset: 00001f55

Any ideas what could be causing this?

First eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated with the program's update function
before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do
than just those two programs. CWShredder is also available here:
