This blue screen seems to only appear when in Internet Explorer. Have reinstalled Explorer. Run SFC for corrupted files. Scandisk fines no errors. Have assumed problem is connected to running Internet Explorer because I could install Internet Explorer without a problem. This is a 30gig drive only using about 1/4 of space

Dean,
Even though this is happening when you are loading IE,does not make it the culprit.
The problem seems to be pointing to bad sectors on your hard drive,if you could pull up "filexxxx chk" at time of error it may give you info as what is causing this problem
Using ctrl-alt-del,so that nothing but explorer and sys tray are running before you defrag and scandisk

I have seen this twice. Once a MainBoard BIOS upgrade fixed it. The second time it took a hard drive firmware upgrade from the HD manufacturer. How old is the PC? What Mainboard and BIOS Date? What brand HD? Are you using MaxBlast, EZDrive, or some other overlay?
