Hi,
As others have mentioned, an OEM version is supported by the distributor,
not Microsoft.
The crashes in IE7 are likely attributable to a plugin/addon. Close IE7 and
go into the Control Panel/Internet Options, on the programs tab click the
button to manage addons and begin disabling those that load with Internet
Explorer. Then retry those sites. I think you may find that this will help
alleviate your other issue as well.
