Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error

Question

I'm starting to have the following problem: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, Runtime Error Program: C/Program Files\Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe R6025 Pure Virtual Function Call   I looked this up on the MS website and found this information:   http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/125749   I understand none of this. I don't what is causing the error, but when it occurs, IE shuts down. Any information that is understandable rather than programmer language would be appreciated.   I have a Dimension 4500 with 512 megs of ram, 80 gig HD, and running WinXP Home SP2. I keep XP up to date using automatic updates. I have Norton AV 2007 and Norton Confidential installed, among other stuff. Please help if you can.

The link that you provided is only if you are programming in C++.

Two things could be wrong. First, a virus corrupted the file referred to in the runtime error message. If this is the case (and this is the first thing you should try to solve this problem), run at least two separate virus checkers after you have updated the programs with the newest downloads. Run the virus program you have on your hard drive in Safe Mode (this sometimes eliminates viruses that can’t be deleted in normal mode).

After you are sure your disk is virus free, check and see if this eliminated the error and the problem caused by the error (it probably didn’t, right?).

Second, run System File Checker. This is a program that not only checks for corrupted/missing files, but fixes them. Start SFC from the Start/Run command. Type in sfc /scannow (remember to put a space between the c and the forward slash). After the program finishes running, reboot your computer.

sorry for the interruption, but i was just curious if this was related to a problem i had earlier.   within 5 minutes of installing the patch to fix the cineplayer dvd sound problem, i started getting the same errors.  i couldn't access anything on my system(dimension e510 w/winxp 2002 sp2).  music, pictures, programs;  no matter what i tried to access, it gave me the c++runtime error.  then it just went away.  hopefully it dosen't return.   MAXX
