Question Firefox & IE7 immediately crash when opened

Hi guys,

Im absolutely desperate to find a solution to this. Ill outline the problem and then tell you what ive tried..


Problem
Whenever I open firefox.exe or iexplore.exe, before even the first webpage has opened both applications will crash. When viewing the crashlog, it says the following error:
Quote:
AppName: firefox.exe AppVer: 1.8.20080.40413 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 01f28313
or
Quote:
AppName: iexplore.exe AppVer: 7.0.6000.20733 ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 0035620c
Once, an error came up like "The memory could not be 'read'".


What I've Tried
I have done full virus scans with 4 different anti-viruses. No problem there.
I have done registry doctors, nothing.
Then 5 different antispyware programs, nothing.
I ran a RAMtest program overnight, no problem.
Reinstalled both iexplore and firefox, and it didnt work.
I inserted my Windows XP SP2 CD, and did a repair installation, nothing.

I have tried absolutely everything, and search everywhere.
My immediate suspicion was that it could be an inetsrv corruption, but after repair installation of windows making no difference, thats out the window.

Please let me know, am desperate for help.
Kind Regards x

p.s. This happened instantly yesterday, the day before it was working fine, and I made no changes. Perhaps WindowsUpdate ran overnight, but I doubt it. Oh, and there is no firewall installed.
