Hello, recently my Internet Explorer has been crashing often. The conditions very, but I tend to always have several windows/tabs open with graphically intensive websites like www.espn.com or www.yahoo.com/sports

The message is always the same however:

Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: C:\Program FIles\ Internet Explorer\ieexplorer.exe
File: dbgheapc
Line: 1132
Expression: _CrtIsValidHeapPointer(pUserData)
For information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the visual C++ documentation on assertion.
(Press Retry to debug the application)

Abort Retry Ignore

(end of message)

Line number may vary.

Typically a quick Abort will close IE wo freezing, but any other action will result in the ol' Ctr Alt Del.

Ive been looking at a healthy amount of porn lately (tmi, sorry), but Ive been doing that for years and I still have never gotten anything this bad. It started shortly after I used Windows Live One Care's "safety scanner."

Im thikning I need to reinstall IE, but how? Thanks guys!

Were you able to fix this?

Thanks.
