Firefox crashes

Firefox is crashing on startup. Happens in safe mode also. Windows XP with no add-ons installed. Installed latest version (8.0) and same thing happens. Any ideas on what I can check?

I also tried several of the suggestions at: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes#Crash_when_starting_...

Does anybody else have any ideas that I can try? This is very frustrating to not be able to use Firefox anymore on this machine.
