IE crashing on ScoobyNet threads?
 

Does anyone know why my Internet Explorer (6.0) repeatedly crashes when i attempt to read this thread.

It bombs out with the error...

This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.

If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

...but i can read the thread perfectly via Mozilla Firebird????

I can also read most other ScoobyNet threads OK as well.

Some other threads have also repeatedly caused IE to crash, but i can't work out what is causing it in the first place.

Thanks in advance,

IE is buggy, and will tend to splurt like this now n again. Just reboot n it sbe fine. If it isn't then delete all your history n temp internet files, close n reopen IE.

bioforger,

"IE is buggy"

Tell me about it ;) :rolleyes:

No need to re-boot, because it is just that particular IE-thread that blows up (all windows opened via "right-click, open in another window"). Other IEs started from the menu/icon continue as normal (don't crash).

It has only started happening recently though, and regularly when browsing ScoobyNet - which has also changed recently?

Norton, Spybot and AdAware don't detect any mal-ware.

I'll try clearing temp and history etc and see if that helps.

Cheers,
