"Problem popups"

O/S Windows XP Home Edition SP2. Trying to download a program and get a popup that says: "So & So" has encountered a problem and needs to close. The result is I cannot complete the download and it erases the website of the subject download, and it goes on to suggest to send an error report to Microsoft or not, which I understand does not have any immediate effect on solving the problem.

Exact message?
