Crashes on startup of VS2005 or any VS2005 project.
Not sure what has changed... other than our IT departement keeps doing updates... still no clue why?

I've an exe (app1) which is written in VB6, this is called from another VB6 application (app2). This was working all these years and recently started crashing. When I'm riunning app2 and where app1 called is crashing with the following error.

This is crashing only in some machines, it's working in machines with same configuration.
I've tried disabling DEP for this exe, that doesn't help too.
These shouldn't occur in a VB6 program unless it uses API calls in a cavalier manner. Such a program can run just fine until something in the data it works with causes it to fall over on one of these access violation errors.
See What is a C0000005 crash?
So all of a sudden every time I open this one particular solution it crashes and gives me the following error. Anyone know what might be causing this? Here is the error I get:

Just found the answer accidentally by searching the MSDN forums:
DELETE THE .SUO FILE
This fixed it! Thanks everyone!
This is a dublicate question (Why is Visual Studio crashing after a few seconds [StackOverflow], Visual Studio crash [StackOverflow]).

I can change one small thing commenting/un-commenting it and VS2005 will either crash or not crash for no additional reason in either case.

Since the above is really of no help to me, is there some way I can diagnose what's going on? All I'm able to get out of debugging the compile crash (in VS2005) that is that there is a corrupted heap.
Some options you can try out:
You can get a log when booting Visual Studio using /log as attribute.

Creating a crash dump
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mikhailarkhipov/archive/2006/07/25/678308.aspx
Uninstall ReSharpen (if you use it)
Reinstall Visual Studio
Create a new Windows User and see if you get the same trouble
Ehh.. Solution: Get rid of the outdated buggy IDE and upgrade to a more recent one. Went to VSC15. No crashes since.
I have a problem on a website with IE9 which requires me to open the developer tools in that browser. That is when my real problem occurs as IE9 simply crashes and reports the following error:

I also get the error with the following code:

IE9 kindly restarts without any dev tools to help me.
Any idea what might cause this ?
Thanks in advance
Reset and fixing did not solve it. On the other hand, a complete uninstall-reinstall procedure using the corresponding windows update did the trick.
For anyone interested here's how: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/how-do-i-install-or-uninstall-internet-explorer-9
Thanks for the suggestion Marc!
Cheers
Reset Internet Explorer settings and check if that fixes the issue.
Run the “Fix it” from the following article:

Create a new VB6 project. Paste the code below as your project code. Hit Run. See if it crashes... Remove or simplify anything you like in this code, and then it will work fine. Can anyone please shed some light on why this is crashing?
This has been tested on eight PC's so far, all running various combinations of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Office 2010, and Office 2007. The ones where it was tested in the Visual Basic IDE have Visual Basic 6 SP 6 installed.
Private Sub Sleep(ByVal nSeconds As Long)
Dim nStart As Long: nStart = Timer
Do
DoEvents
Loop Until (Timer - nStart) >= nSeconds
End Sub
Private Sub Crash()
Dim sTempPath As String: sTempPath = Space(255)
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Initialize()
Sleep 1
Crash
End Sub
Addendum #1:
I put this as a macro in Excel 2010, replacing Form_Initialize() with Workbook_Open(), and sure enough, when you open the document. It crashes!
Addendum #2:
I added break points to every line before hitting "Run" and it crashed before it got to the first break point. But again, if I simplify or remove anything in this, it works fine and does not crash.
Addendum #3:
Tried MicSim's suggestion of removing the colon, and it did not crash. Added it back, ran it again and it did not crash. Closed Visual Basic, and put in the original code and it crashed.

After reviewing your question and all the addendums, I realized that your computer is running the release version of VB6, and not SP6.
Your crash details indicate the following versions:
VB6.exe: 6.0.81.76
VBA6.dll: 6.0.0.8179
The exact build numbers of Visual Basic 6.0 SP6 files are as follows:
VB6.exe: 6.0.97.82
VBA6.dll: 6.0.0.9782
Exception code c0000005 corresponds to an access violation in module vba6.dll. A similar problem is documented on Microsoft KB
I have not found an accurate source listing build numbers for each VB6 service packs, but it looks like this is the RTM version. Even though you might have installed SP6 yourself, a rogue installer may have overwritten shared system files by an older version after the service pack was installed. This would explain why a lot of users commented that the code is working fine for them with a seemingly similar setup.
