"vshost32-clr2.exe has stopped working"

We are experiencing a problem when we run a custom mosaic tool under Windows 7. This error doesn't appear under Windows Vista or XP. It occurs with VS2008 and 2010. Basically, when we run  our mosaic tool eventually our app will pop up a window that says "vshost32-clr2.exe has stopped working". The window has two options: Close the program or Debug the program. The second option only shows up if you have VS installed. I've searched around and this appears to happen in lots of kinds a situations but none of the offered up solutions seem to stopped this from occurring. This error occurs on all of our Windows 7 PCs. Has anyone else seen this error? If so, do you know of a solution? See attached image.

For anyone that is interested, this turns out to be some kind of .NET problem and the solution is to upgrade to .NET 4.0. Of course if you can't do that then there's a way to get around the error on Windows 7 by doing the following:

1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Search for the Action Center under System and Security. Open it.
3. Click on Maintenance and then click on Settings.
4. Click "Select programs to exclude from reporting".
5. Click Add... and locate your Exe. Click Open.
6. Click OK twice.

This solved the problem for me.
