Internet Explorer 9

[kciwart]

I appologize if this problem has been beaten to death, but a search yelded no results. Anyway, a friend of mine has just purchased a computer preloaded with Windows 7 professional. When he loads Instant messenger, IE will (at some point) shut down. He has RMA'd one system only to have the second do he same. Below is the screen he gets when that happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try updating the Flash Player to latest version using IE (with IM not loaded):
http/get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Notes:

1) Disable antivirus whilst downloading & installing Flash Player.

2) If you do not want Google Chrome, be sure to UNtick it on the Flash Player download page.
