IE 7 Closes once 7th tab is opened [Archive]

For some odd reason, on my Mom's computer in the profile she's created for me in Windows, IE 7 will close once the 7th tab is opened. She did have MyWebSearch (Cursor Mania) installed, but I removed that.

Any idea why IE 7 would close with no error like that?

--EDIT--
It seems to more random than anything else. It is extremely annoying for IE to close and I'm doing several things on this and other forums and browsing newegg.

I am running an Ad-Aware scan on the computer right now. Oh and its been 2 years, 2 months (10/09/2004) since I last installed Windows for her when she got a new hard drive to replace the old one that was dying.

I would also like to mention that this seems to occur in my profile only, not hers. She created a profile for me, which is set to limited user, so I won't mess with hers.

--Thinking out loud--
Why does it seem I don't get answers to some of my thread?

Delete the application data for ie then. It should generate a new one next time you open it. Just backup your bookmarks and such first.

edit: C:\documents and settings\usernamehere\microsoft\internet explorer

I think thats where its located, I don't have windows on any of my machines anymore so I can't really confirm if its there or not.

Thanks, I did that. I was about to ask how to do that.
