IE 7 crash W/ .net update

I am running XP pro /sp2 I E 7 / (all legal)
When I install the .net update , IE 7 started crashing.
I uninstalled the update and it works fine.
My question really is ,do I need the .net framework installed?
I am using the machine for simple home needs, email ,banking etc.?

Benefits of the Microsoft .NET Framework

What .NET Framework update?

1. Does this behavior persist if you start IE7 in No Add-ons mode? To start
IE7 in No Add-ons mode:

Right-click on the blue IE desktop icon and select Start without Add-ons; or

Start > (All) Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Internet Explorer (No
add-ons).

2. Does the problem persist if you Reset IE7 Settings (RIES)?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 <= Read before using!

3. If you uninstall (a) IE7 (which automatically returns you to IE6), (b)
all toolbars and (c) all third-party Windows Themes (including Window
Blinds) and do NOT reinstall IE7, does this behavior persist? If it does,
do NOT reinstall IE7.

4. Required reading IMHO before reinstalling IE7:

I strongly recommend using
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/dow.../getitnow.mspx as the
installation source, not Automatic/Windows Update.

Tip: Save the installer to your desktop, do not Run it.

Make *certain* that you check in at Windows Update immediately after
reinstalling IE7 to install any critical updates offered. If Optional
Updates category offers Root Certificates update, I recommend installing it
to take full advantage of IE7's additional security.

IE 7 presents with an error message" I E has encountered a problem and must
close"
It does the same thing running without add ons.
Again my question, do I really need the .net framework program ?
I will try the tips you gave me
thanks
