Vista - When sending e-mail via Microsoft web mail, IE shuts down

Hi,
When I log onto my work e-mail through web mail I can read all my e-mails
and so on, but when I try and reply or send a new e-mail, with attachments (I
haven't yet tried without attachments) I get the popup that says IE is
searching for a solution, followed very quickly by the window telling me that
IE is restarting.

I have already updated the mime control (as suggested by an earlier search
in these forums on a similar problem I had), which fixed that problem, but
now this new issue has come up.

I'm running Vista Home Premium edition which was an upgrade from XP Home MCE
that came with the purchase of my Compaq Presario last October. I've
installed all the updates (except two that won't install for some reason -
Microsoft.net 1.1 SP1, and a hardware driver) so everything else is up to
date apparently.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Have you tried launching 'Internet Explorer (no add-ons)' from the Start
Menu, that will help rule out something plugged into IE causing the problem.
