    32bit Vista Home Premium with IE8 - this laptop has 2 user accounts, user "A" and user "B". If I use IE8 to go to Facebook logged in as "B", everything works fine. If I try to go to Facebook logged in as "A", Internet Explorer almost immediately errors out with the error I attached below (it's the standard "Internet Explorer as stopped working" error). I have done some basic stuff in IE to try to fix this but haven't had any luck. I tried using Firefox and it works fine with facebook and everything else. It seems as if the problem is ONLY with Facebook and IE8. All other sites work fine in IE on user "A" except for Facebook. Weird. Any ideas?
