Internet Explorer locking up

[evilgenius]

Everytime I open up Internet Explorer, my computer either locks up or I receive muliple error messages. The messages usually say the following:
File Name: IFSMGR(04) +00015D07 Error:0E: 0028:C02C0263
An exceptation 0E has occured at 0028:C000D81A in VxD VMM(01)+0000C81A. This was called from 028:C00A4980 in VxD VKD(01)+ 00000640. It may be possible to continue normally.

I am also recieving messages that say: Error 0E:0028:FF100993 or Error: 0E:0028:00F0100 File name:VFAT(01)=00004FAA Error:0E:0028:C0044A9A

or

Register has caused an error in URLMON.dll Register will now close
QAGENT has caused an error in TRACKER.dll QAGENT will now close

Sometimes, when I click on a link, the computer will restart. The computer runs fine when running any other software (games, Word, Excel, etc). Only when running IE do I have a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My system consists of the following:

Giga-byte 7DXR
1.1 Thunderbird
512 DDR (Crucial)
2 40GB harddrives in RAID configuration
Linksys LAN card
Cable Modem
Soundblaster Value card

Do you have QUICKEN installed on your machine?

Sounds like it is an issue where Quicken is trying to connect to the internet
to do either a Regristration (validation) or Update (QAgent).

To Disable from within Quicken/QuickBooks
choose the "Edit \ Options \ Internet Options" menu option.
Press Alt+Shift+4.
Click "Yes" on the window asking you if you want to disable the Quicken Background Download Manager. Click OK.
Close Quicken. Restart your PC.

goto run: then type msconfig

once the msconfig box open uncheck qagent.exe from loading at startup
