Internet Explorer Visual C++ Runtime Error

This just started happening to me yesterday after I rebooted this week.

No matter what I tried I kept getting "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information".

I did some searches and it was mentioned to uninstall the Google Toolbar.  I never installed it so I looked around for additional add on applications I may have installed and decided to uninstall Google Gears but that didn't do any good as I suspected.

Later in the evening I happened to close Live Messenger and Live Communicator and all the applications running in my system tray (AIM, etc) so I could create a recording.  After I shut those applications down the problem went away.  I *think* it may have been Live Messenger Beta or AIM that caused the problem.  Regardless which one cause the problem I thought I would post about it in case someone else ran into the same problem. 

By the way, even though I restarted those applications and have not rebooted, the problem hasn't come back.  Very weird.

UPDATE:  Feb 18th

I ran into this problem again and my latest fix to solve this problem was go to Tools->Options->Advanced and click the "Reset" button at the bottom of the form.  So far so good.

I am getting the same error every time i hit the X botton on IE , when i close Windows live MSN it just doesn't happen again, it might be a problem between those 2 generating it, as far as i know i downloaded a 3d party application that supports contacts as windows live and downloaded mozilla Firefox i'm tired of this errors.

BTW, this error came back. I went into Internet Options->Security and disabled protected mode. It now works. Still not the correct solution but at least i can open it up now.

Hey I started having the same stupid problem trying to play online games or download games for my kids.The error message comes up and shuts down the explorer.Microsoft wasn't any help. I did everything it said and I still have the same problem. I did notice that we all seem to have mozilla and the google bar.I'm practically computer illiterate so I was wondering if they could be conflicting or something?

I have the same problem whenever I close internet explorer. It's really starting to annoy me. Anything I can do to get rid of it?

All I can tell you is it's been happening ever since I got rid of a virus on my computer.

Try resetting IE to the defaults. You'll find it in the advanced tab I think. This has fixed my problem twice that I know of.

I'm having the same issue. I've reset my browser settings and it still crashes. I receive the runtime error frequently even during regular use. IE seems incredibly unstable in Vista. I use FireFox instead, but occasionally, some websites will not load properly so IE is/should be a good backup.

I get the same error when I have Quick Books open, but it goes away when I close Quick Books.

Definitely connected to Live Messenger on my PC - Closing that fixes the problem. Seems to stay fixed even when Live Messenger is restarted. Odd! Incidentally, I don't have the Google Toolbar installed

Happened to me too. Started yesterday, and it's still crashes and freezes the system. I use FF too, but FL studio and asio4all starts the 2 second problem with flash in FF, so I hope I can fix this with one of these methods above.
