If you were  Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options
From secguru.com:

-------

1. Click Start, click Run, type "regsvr32 -u "%ProgramFiles%\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll " (without the quotation marks), and then
click OK.

2. A dialog box appears to confirm that the un-registration process has
succeeded. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Impact of Workaround: Applications that render VML will no longer do so once
Vgx.dll has been unregistered. To undo this change, re-register Vgx.dll by
following the above steps. Replace the text in Step 1 with “regsvr32
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\VGX\vgx.dll”

------

Personally I'd rather remove the defective file as the chances of it ever
being used are near-zero, but I guess WFP might just replace it if I do.

Or, one could use an up to date alternative browser. ;)
