Internet Explorer problem

[havn't a clue]

I am running WinXp Pro on a laptop. Have been using same setup for a couple of years but now I can not connect to the internet via internet explorer. I get the following message:

"Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".

I have unistalled and re-installed explorer both from my XP install disk and from the microsoft website. I can access the internet via msn with no problem, but each time I exit, I get the above message.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Let windows do it, He can also use third party sites to get the files.

He can enable automatic updates, though I wouldn't do that myself.
