Ever since I started using a new Dell Vista machine about a week ago, I've received the following error message upon closing the Dell-installed Internet Explorer 7:  "Java (TM) platform SE binary has stopped working . . ."  Can anyone explain what's causing this and how I fix it?

Usually but not always I also receive the following error message:

"An error has occurred in the script on this page.

Line 12

Character 1

Error Automation server can't create object.

Do you want to continue running scripts on this page."

Are these 2 messages related?  Can someone tell me how to resolve both?
