I have ie 6 and every time I try to open it, I get this error.

Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

When I click the 'click here' button, I am shown:

AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 6.0.2900.2180 ModName: unknownModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0014072f

I am not able to open the IE without shoving the box in the corner, and Mozilla Firefox as well is having this error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is this a new problem? Were things working OK previously? Any new hardware or software?

If this is a new problem try a System Restore to a point prior to the problem:

start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore


If this fails then try this:
