Hello guys, having a heck of a time trying to figure this one out. I'm running Windows XP home edition with SP3, recently IE8 just crashes when the computer is booted, this happens after logging on to windows, then explorer.exe crashes as well, I get application errors. I un-installed IE8 and downloaded Google chrome but same issue now with Google chrome, it gives me a application error and this is what it says "The instruction at 0x77f8c4d1 referenced memory at 0x00ab850f, the memory could not be "read"" Click on OK to terminate the program. If I click on ok the browser crashes and closes if I don't then it opens and that's how i'm on this forum. Internet explorer does not even open anymore.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
