I also think mshtml.dll might be the real problem. There is a newer version. I have not been able to get my hands on it though. Could be worth a try. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933006/en-us
But another thing is that I also noticed that Access 2007 crashes when Start++ is running. Often it is when I try to create a query and when it happens I can use the same steps to reproduce it as long as Start++ is running. From what I can see mshtml.dll is not loaded by Access so I don't see the connection there.
