Internet Explorer has encountered a problem

I received my new Dell Inspiron 9300 today.  I consider myself fairly technical but everytime I open internet explorer, it tells me it has encountered a problem and has to close.  I have adjusted my firewall settings, and even turned them off for a brief period to see if it  helped, but to no avail.  I would really appreciate help.  The only software that I have installed other than what was on it, is AOL instant messenger and yahoo messenger.  Before the system was shipped to me, I had Dell add Quickbooks Pro 2005, and Norton.  Could the messengers be causing the problem?
 
Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    I would suggest removing your email addy from the post and returning to the forum for answers. You can set up your profile to recieve email messages when someone replies to your posting.

    I would then remove the messengers and see if IE works. If it does, you can then install 1 or the other to see if it is the culprit. Process of elimination should tell you which one is the problem creator (if it is one of the messengers)

    You are more than welcome - these forums are a great resource for help. I would not put anything by AOL, or Norton, on my machines. Just my opinion.

    Thanks!  I removed it.  You were right, it was my aol messenger causing the problem.  As soon as I deleted it, it fixed the problem.  Thanks again.
