When opening the IE I get the following error message:

Runtime Error!
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate
it in an unusual way.

When clicking OK - the following message appears:

The instruction in "0x014db87* refers to memory
in "xxxxxx". The transaction "READ" could not be executed
in the memory.

Strange enough this only occurs when a user other than
the Administrator is logged in. Working as the
Administrator this error does not occur.

Looks like a tough one?

Any feedback highly appreciated.
