After going through Microsoft support, they pointed me to the following 
support article:

326572 Explorer.exe Repeatedly Generates Access Violation Error Messages 
After
_http://support.microsoft.com/?id=326572_

In addition to the hotfix mentioned in the article, upgrading to IE 6 it 
supposed to do the same thing, which I tried, and it worked.
