Not at all, even though the OP didn't bother disclosing the OS.

Crashes in low level modules like this often are symptoms of incompatible
modules further down the call stack. In 32-bit NT you could look in drwtsn32.log
for clues about that. I don't know how to tell from this error signature
if the iexplore.exe running was a 32-bit program or a 64-bit program.
Perhaps the module version information tells us that?

Also, before NT, Windows had drwatson.log and thus NT had
to differentiate logs for dumps in 32 bit programs by putting them
in drwtsn32.log instead. Perhaps 64-bit programs dump in
drwtsn64.log now? <eg>

Another way to get stack information supposedly is to be running
ProcMon when you reproduce the symptom. The trace record
for the crash event would be expanded to see the stack.
Best information from the stack requires the use of symbols
but just having module names, especially third-party ones,
is often an adequate clue to get you pointed in the right direction.


Good luck

It turns out that Vista Ultimate 64-bit has somehow put the 32-bit IE on my
start menu. While poking around, I saw that I had a 64-bit IE available in
my files, so I switched it out. Now, it works fine.

Thanks Robert!

It seems my hyperlinks in email (for example) still are pointing to my 32-bit
IE.

How do I change those associations in Vista?
