Flash9f.ocx Internet Explorer ...Error...Needs To Close

Yesterday I installed the latest version of adobe and haven't been able to see one site with that uses flash.
Every time a load any of those pages, including some of the adobe.com pages. I get the following error:
Internet Explorer has encountered an error and needs to close, the detail is below.

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: flash9f.ocx
ModVer: 9.0.124.0 Offset: 00055b27

Im using Windows XP. I tried the following to resove it. I cleaned all temp files, cleared history, cleared cache and reset all settings to defaults. Uninistalled/reinstalled the browser....none of that worked.

I made sure that when I uninstalled the player that i deleted all the registry keys associated with it and all of the files left behind, restarted the machine then reinstalled the active x control. So i did that several times in the process. Nothing seemed to work.

I found a key value in one of the other topics that has an extra 2 at the end for no reason. Fixed that still have the problem. I don't have the source code to attach because it happens on every page everytime, the page won't even load. Yes this does happen on the download adobe page on this website too.

I use sites with the player all the time and they were all working fine before i did the install latest version, now this happens everywhere. I expect the adobe site would at least work.

Does anyone have any suggestions, what else could be wrong?

    I had this problem for quite some time and was getting pretty desperate. Finally I reinstalled Windows XP... and I still had the problem! However, on the minimal system I was able to use Windows selective startup and (I think) I've narrowed it down to two drivers... but I don't know which it was and I don't have the stomach to test it again. The two drivers that I removed that made the problem go away were a SigmaTel driver for the motherboard audio (I have a separate sound card) and the driver for a U. S. Robotics hardware modem that I have now removed from the computer. I don't know if this will help any one else, but it is another data point.

    To goofert: I went to your bugs link..I don't know if I did it rite , but I made an entry.....To ALL: I'm having the SAME problem with Adobe Flash Player 9..Re: IE 7 closes down & I go offline....I'm currently investigating online at-home bussinesses & NEED to view video/movie clips ,etc.....The website closes almost immediately, the same as sweeneysmsm's post...Error messages are sent to MS , but I don't think it THEIR problem...If I go to IE & & disable Adobe Flash Player in the "Manage Add-Ons" section, I can explore the site til doomsday!! So I KNOW it's an Adobe problem & they NEED to FIX it....If anyone has or knows HOW to solve this , I for one WOULD be VERY gratefull.!!! It looks like tons of other people would also....Please reply..Thank you VERY much....Ron.M

    I've seen no official statement from Adobe about the SSE
    requirement. That seems a little strange to me.
