Assert Failed in 'FSRC\Fwindow.cpp' line: 48

[randomlight]

I have upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 64 bit.
When using my explorer 8 browser, every time I try to type anything, it prints a letter or two but then An error window pops up titled Fwindow::Create Failed! with a error message inside saying "Assert Failed in 'FSRC\Fwindow.cpp' line: 48 ", when I click Ok to continue, it lets me type a letter or two and the message re-appears.Does anyone know how I can fix this?
I have uninstalled explorer 8 through the Control Panel\Programs and Features \Turn Windows features on or off\ Uncheck Internet Explorer 8... rebooted , and turned it on again which reinstalls it. This didn`t help.
Also I reset it through... click Tools\ Internet Options\ Advanced tab
this also did not help.I am almost ready to do another install of the whole OS but thought I`d ask here first.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated thanks

In going from XP to windows 7, you should have done a clean install. You should have backed up your data, booted to the windows 7 dvd and deleted the existing partitions, repartitioned and then installed windows 7. Most likely you had some corruption when you upgraded.
