I know this is unrelated to the game, but my Internet Explorer browser crashes an awful lot for no reason.

'IE has caused an error in <unknown> blah blah blah'

I clicked on details...decypher:

IEXPLORER caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 0000:012f3760.

you know, this can be really anything. For example also hardware incompatibility. I had once a motherboard from ASUS (probably not too bad company) with VIA chipset (I don't want to have anything in common with VIA since then) and it had famous DMA bug - cdrom randomly not working or displaying errors.

I guess you should apply latest patches/updates from microsoft and if it doesn't help - perhaps reinstall windows?  (And try to never install programms, which you don't REALLY need)

With my lack of computer knowledge, I won't try anything, as I mwilll probably make it worse.

first lesson from "survival on the internet": when some window pops up and it asks you to press "yes" for ANY reason, you always press "no" (or even better "esc"). When someone/something offers you to install some "fancy" feature, always refuse it (unless you are 100% sure that you can't live without it). This way you have some chance to avoid installing of adware or spyware, or something similar.
you should also have some up-to-date antivir program (for example http://free.grisoft.com is free & good)

Well that's just common sense, not computer knowledge  :P
