Whenever I open Internet Explorer, there will always be a massage saying?Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close?. It's always like that. And whenever I click on any icon on my screen anthoer message will appear saying:explorer.exe encountered an error needs to close:and my screen will suddenly turns to black and it will open again, then I can click and open the icon.But the speaker on the lower right corner of my screen is gone. If I close the icon and open it again, same thing will happen. Any suggestion/s on what must I do to correct this?

Did all of this start happening at once (Internet explorer and the Icons?)or as it been something that has gradually been getting worse? If it started happening all at once I would say it might be a virus, because it sounds like files have been corrupted somehow. AVG is a good free virus scanner www.grisoft.com/

Also a fresh install of windows would not be a bad idea either!

Sounds like your IE is corrupted. Try rebooting if you haven't already many times. Do you have a version of IE you could install for your OS? Even an older version? If so, try installing this and then update from Microsoft.
