Don't worry about the appcompat.txt file. That's the file that's sent to Microsoft when you are presented with the Send or Don't Send information to Microsoft regarding the error. I had the exact same thing happen this afternoon after doing a clean install of Windows XP Home with Service Pack 3 slipstreamed onto it. After I downloaded and updated Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 7, the problem disappeared.
All sorts of things can cause your type of problem. You may have malware, a corrupt system file or the web page you're viewing isn't constructed correctly.
If you are running Internet Explore 6, try this: Click on Start|Run. Type iexplore /rereg . Press Enter.
