Windows Vista Problem with internet explorer 8

[snatcher]

Hello , when i boot and enter windows 7 , im getting the error "internet explorer has stopped working".
Im using Chrome for browsing. I didnt even opened IE8. This message keeps on comming every 20 seconds after i closed the error. This is very annoying. Someone who has a solution to this ? Maybe it would help if i uninstall IE8 and instal IE7 ?
Thx in advance !!
