After the computer boots up, if I go to FireFox first thing and then close it,
then I go to 'My Computer', My Computer crashes with a memory error, when I say
ok, the computer loads up Visual C++ for a debug, and then VC++ locks up.  I
have to alt+ctrl+del to get out and shut down both My Computer and VC++.  After
I close them both I won't have the problem again until the next time I boot.  I
am able to use both FireFox and My Computer for then on...until i reboot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot up computer
2.  Run and exit FireFox
3.  Double-click on My Computer

Actual Results:  
Memory error message

Expected Results:  
Show the My Computer window properly, such as available drives
There is something broken with your system and/or your hardware.
Since this works on my WinXP system and also on million other windows XP systems
with Firefox this can't be something in Firefox itself.
