"IE has encountered a problem and needs to close."

Everytime a try to start IE, my home page loads, and a
few seconds later I get this message:

"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

The error signature is:

AppName: Iexplore.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106
ModName: winshow.dll
ModVer: 1.0.0.1
Offset: 00001df1

Now, this only happens intermittently. Like, it'll go
for a few days just fine, and then suddenly I'll start
seeing this message everytime I try to start it up. Then,
maybe a couple of days later, it will work again for
awhile, then I'll start getting the message--sometimes
when I'm right in the middle of browsing, and sometimes
when I start it up again. Right now I'm using the
browser in RealPlayer, and I've had no problems with that.

After searching the knowledge base, I came upon articles
that seemed to describe the problem I was having, with
the exception of having a different ModName and Offset in
the error signature. I don't know what those are, so I
didn't attempt any of the fixes listed in those articles.

Any help would be appreciated!
