IE7 instantly shuts down

The Data Execution shuts it down as soon as I try to maximize the screen -
not that it works while small- and I get the following technical stuff that I
do not understand. Can anyone tell me what's wrong? I installed a few things
that I did not like and uninstalled them. My Lifecam also won't initialize,
but that's a whole different thing....
Thanks...
Kathy

have u removed all add-ons?
my wife's laptop has issues with IE7 and Norton addon, whereas my laptop
does fine with the combo. Her IE was stopping within a couple of
seconds of being opened.

What if you right click the IE icon on the desktop and choose Start Without
Add-ons?
Or go to Start | All Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Internet
Explorer (No Add-ons).

Well, apparently it was something more serious than an add-on. My whole
system crashed and I had to reinstall Vista... Everything is working now, so
I'll be more careful about add-ons and downloading programs in the future.
Thanks...
