Oh...
This is the window that says something like "Internet Explorer has
encountered a problem and must close," right?
This is probably a malware problem. (Adware, spyware, hijacker, parasite.)
Start withStart with BHO Demon from
http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm You may just have a
troublesome Browser Helper Object. BHO Demon will allow you to easily,
safely disable it.
Then download and run CWShredder and Ad-aware. Check for updates for
Ad-aware before running the program.

If unsuccessful with those programs, you may have to post a HijackThis log
for analysis. Start at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=4075 Then go to
http://www.aumha.org/a/quickfix.htm Work through the preliminary cleaning
steps then post a HijackThis log to the forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/viewforum.php?f=30
Be patient. It's a busy forum.
HijackThis logs are also analyzed at these (and other) forums. Look for the
proper forum and an "Important- Read This First" message so that you follow
proper procedure.

Or...
A legitimate program running in the background may be causing this. Disable
(for diagnostic purposes) programs such as pop-up blockers, security,
anti-virus, etc. You may have to reinstall, or not reinstall, a program.
