I am having the exact same problem and have found the following so far.

-SCREEN=OFF causes the error to occur
-Bringing the SCREEN back before shutdown makes no difference
-It does not error on a PC with IE4.0 installed
-It does not matter what code is in the program (I created a Messagebox program too and found it errored). Clearing all memory, paths, closing everything, etc. makes no difference either.

Only 2 things make a difference, that I've found. IE 4.0 and SCREEN=OFF.

Does anybody have any ideas?
