Strange happenings. If I open Explorer, where it has my default as Google,
then sometimes it cant find it the Google page.
When it does, a search sometimes crashes Explorer. If I search "search", it
always crashes. I notice as it does, the screen drops down a line.
It is ok to type in the URL on the url line, causing no problem.

I have a broadband connection via cable, and a shared connection.
The cable is hard wired to the main PC and I share with a netgear box
to another PC (XP)

I have AVG8. I have tried removing the AVG toolbar without success.
I do not have the Google toolbar.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Good of you to disclose your OS, even if only inadvertently. ; )

FWIW I have been asking for some diagnostic tips on these
"StackHash" crashes before...

(Live Search for
MSFT c0000374 exception code Vista
)

<quote author="zachd [MSFT]">
That particular module name is usually indicative of memory corruption.
It's really more of a failure class.
</quote>

I see them as the Vista equivalent of the older Module: unknown
crashes which often involve other interfering modules further
up the stack. The standard crash diagnostics give us no clues
about the rest of the stack yet typically the fault is in a caller,
not the crashing module and certainly not the crash address
when there is no module there.

I still think you need to get the equivalent of a Stack Back Trace
to understand what was happening just before the crash but I now
understand that Vista doesn't have drwtsn32.log for doing that.
One possibility for more information in this regard then would be
to try using ProcMon. E.g. it would capture a record of the crash
event which would contain the stack information in it.
Process Explorer supposedly also can give you stack information
but I don't think that it would be as timely.

I'm experiencing the same thing. I have Vista. Very frustrating! You're in
the middle of typing words in the Google search box and everything freezes.
You have to go to Task Manager to close IE.
