This is my office computer, and I keep all my pirated stuff at home.

There was an XP automatic update that I installed this morning, but
after removing it IDL is still crashing. I haven't made any other
changes, updates, or added software in the last few weeks. MatLab and
every other program works fine and the firewall and virus protection
are on and haven't found anything.

IDL starts up and begins analyzing code, then crashes within about 5
seconds. This is the first problem I've had with IDL.

This is the Error Signature I get (I have yet to decipher what, if
anything, it means)

EventType : BEX P1 : idlde.exe P2 : 0.0.0.0 P3 :
46437674
P4 : idl_bml.dll P5 : 7.0.0.0 P6 : 47214e8c P7 :
0000fe6d
P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
