"(Applicationname.exe)has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Question

Any program that CAN or DOES connect to the internet (even Microsoft Word, for example) gives me that error message. The only exception has been MIRC. I've tried a dozen registry-fix type programs to no avail. I've just finished a full re-install of XP-Pro, and it still does the exact same f-ing thing. Can someone help please?
