Thanks for the info... Any thoughts on doing a 'restore'? I believe
that it's a restore that I've heard about that supposedly repairs all
windows system files, leaving all user files alone. If this is the
case, perhaps I should be looking at that approach.

Thanks again for the time with your replies everyone... I discovered
one thing that surprised me as I logged into a user account on this
machine and Internet Explorer worked just fine. I expected to login
back into the admin account and have it work as flawlessly and was
dismayed when in 'admin' mode, I was faced with the same choices,
'debug' and 'close' when getting into IE through Admin level. Is
there some way to mirror settings over from that user account to
'Admin'? Everything on this machine seems to be NEARLY where it was
before the crash so I hate to do anything really radical and have any
'setback'.
