OLE32.DLL keeps causing Vista HP crashes.

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


Any help someone could provide on an issue with Vista HP would be very
appreciated.

Keep getting APPCRASHES from all sorts of applications, ranging from
Skype, to IE 7 and Microsoft Money. After watching these crashes for
months, and using Process Explorer, it seems the common thread of the
crashes is that OLE32.DLL is pointed to each time. At the suggestion of
an earlier post, ran sfc /scannow, but it didn't find a problem with any
system files.

Further research at this forum and here ('The new window that you open
in Internet Explorer displays a blank white page'
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;902932))
discusses trying the REGSRV32 OLE32.DLL command.

Tempted to try this, but before typing in unfamiliar commands,
wondering if anyone knows:
1. Is there a risk of running this command?
2. Is there a chance this might actually solve the issue?

Thanks!
