Runtime error associated with Internet Explorer

I have an interesting situation.

I was creating an additonal account for someone and set it up as a "Limited"
type of account.

I went to click on the Internet Explorer Icon and I got the mini-hour glass
next to the cursor and nothing happened. Tried it again and nothing.

I started to click on other icons on my desk top and got the following error
box.
In the blue border on the top of the box, it says:
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Libary"
Under that message, in the same box, it says:
"Runtime Error !

Program: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe

"The application has reqeusted the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual
way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

The there is a button that says "ok" in the middle for me to click on.

I go into Start-control panel, start-my computer, start-my network places,
etc I get the same message. When I click on start, then right click and try
to open up any of those option, I get the same message.

If I re-start the computer, go directly into the alternate identity, most
everything works ok. However, if I switch from the alternate identity to the
main one, I get those same messages. I have to re-start and then everything
is fine.

Anyone have any idea on what this is and how to fix it?

Thanks.

I have a similar problem. I installed XPSP2 on my daughters computer this
morning. During the download I received the same Run Time Error in
Iexplorer. After a restart all seemed normal and the installation proceeded.
Upon completion I no longer have access to the internet. I have tried it
both with the firewall on and the firewall off. When I attempt to access the
screen initially opens but then disappears almost immediately. I have no
other firewalls active on the system so dont believe its a firewall conflict
(went through that on my own computer) looking for advice.
Tks
