For the past several days, after using internet explorer, I get a message when I re-boot the computer. The message is this: The instruction at "0x1001cbf1" referenced memory at "0x1001cbf1". The memory could not be read. I went to manage add-ons in the tool option, to disable this, and it was not listed there. I am unsure if I should disable anything else that is in there, as I don't know what I need and don't need. If this isn't in the manage add ons selection, what do I do to solve this problem? Thanks
