Safari 5 crashes on start with error in CoreGraphics.dll

Hi,

can't get Safari 5 to run on Windows 7 (x64). Right after start a cascade of error boxes with title "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" show up (around 15 or 20 boxes), each telling:

RunTime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

In the background, Safari build is inital display (the tiles with the web site previews) but the menu bar is not drawn.

When closing one of the error boxes, I get the Windows dialog for online diagnosis or closing Safari. Its error details say:

I completely uninstalled Safari, Bonjour and Appla Application support, emptied the waste bin, restarted the system, deactivated the virus scanner, unplugged from the network, reinstalled safari: same result, crashes immediately on start.

Removed the profile folders/files from my user directory: Only result was that previews of the inital sites get loaded, but Safari still immedaitely shows the cascade of error messages.

After iTunes (which after some update is no longer able to detect my iPhone but at least works) Safari is now the second application I can't get to work.

Any suggestions what to try next?

Best,
Max
