In installed the vista upgade (Home Premium) now with User Account Control on
I have to right click the Explorer Icon and run as administrator, I get the
message the IE is an unidentifed program, which is not a big deal but by
doing so I cannot use any hyperlinks to other sites. If I turn off UAC I have
no problem it works as it always did. Is there a work around?

Odd since Vista comes with IE7.

Try installing the User Agent String Utility. It spoofs websites into
believing it's IE6. You'll find download link under question 4.

Tried the download no change still getting the message:
Internet Explorer has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is availible

when run as administator:
An unidentified program wants access to you computer
iexplorer.exe

What else might it be?

Look in Event Viewer Applications for the Error. Locate the Event ID # and
Fault Module Name

Also, have you recently downloaded video codecs? Uninstall them.

Looked in Event Viewer Applications for an Error. Oddly there were none for
IE

and no I have not downloaded any video codecs before or after the upgrade

The three codec files would be Python files. Used in .Net Framework
scripting, etc... I just sent you a troubleshooter link. Hope it helps.
