XP Pro SP3 fully updated
IE7 fully updated

After updating to 9.1 IE7 always gives me the "encountered a problem and needs to close" message when I close an EMPTY (about:blank) browser.
If I browse to any web page I can close IE7 normally without error.

I notice this because I do not have any home page set other than about:blank and I always open an empty browser to delete browsing history and then close it again still empty.

It is definitely caused by the 9.1 version. I rollbacked the update and the problem went away. As the update had removed 9.0, I reinstalled 9.1 from scratch (not an update) and the problem came back.

I have removed 9.1 again and the problem has gone.

I do not want to go back to 9.0 because of the security issues so am currently using another PDF viewer.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem?
Any fixes, workarounds would be greatly appreciated as I prefer adobe to other readers I have tried.
Thanks
Eddie E
