Vista - "Internet Explorer Has Stopped working" when trying to download st

I upgraded my WinXP pro to vista business a few weeks ago. The IE7 can't be
used since then. When I click on a link that points to a pdf, zip, exe... ,
IE will pop up a window telling me that "Internet Explorer has stopped
working". Any idea how to fix the problem? BTW, I installed IE7 on WinXP a
long time ago before the upgrade. It worked just fine.

This could happen if you are using a pdf reader or third party zip utility
that is not Vista compatible.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 6 for pdf. But I don't know what is a third party
utility for exe file. In fact, most of the file types will cause the problem.

That's an old version, probably not compatible. Use version 8 or FoxIt
Reader.

"Internet Explorer Has Stopped working" in my case it was
"Ask" tool bar guilty. I've disabled it and WIE works fine now...-

I'm not sure why you're posting this to me.

No, I was just wondering why you posted this to me. I wasn't the one with
the problem. This is a threaded newsgroup, so you should select which post
to which you reply. It should be directed to the appropriate person rather
than just replying to the last post that was made in the thread.
