I'd suggest FireFox. What a crock... reinstall that is.

There is an Internet Explorer specific newsgroup, as Frank indicated, and
Vista specific newsgroups. This one is for the XP OS. When reposting give
the error message verbatim (I'm sure it doesn't say "I'm broken") and when
the error occurs. Have you tried a system restore to before the problem
occurred?

Here is a list of Vista specific newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_acco unts_password
microsoft.public.windows.vista.file_management
microsoft.public.windows.vista.games
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices
microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup
microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail
microsoft.public.windows.vista.music_pictures_vide o
microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing
microsoft.public.windows.vista.performance_mainten ance
microsoft.public.windows.vista.print_fax_scan
microsoft.public.windows.vista.security
