Crashing Internet Explorer on Windows XP.

I've noticed that the "bio" page on my website will crash Internet Explorer. It's the latest version, running without any unusual plugins on Windows XP Pro. My website is http://web.mac.com/droeber/iWeb/Roeber.com/bio.html and I've used the Modern theme.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I have resolved my crashes - here is how i did it. I spoke to Apple Support, they were nice, but not able to help me. They said it was really Microsoft's fault. Doesn't really matter whose fault it is, since IE on the PC is what most of the world and for me, it is really 98% of my customers and target market, so its gotta work for that platform.
Jdang's previous post regarding offending PNGs provided me the hint. I decided to rebuild my site, one graphic at a time, and post, and test on a PC running IE until i found the offender. In my case, i was using lines, dotted style, running vertically as well as horizontally to give my page some spatial separation. Those lines were the offenders in my case - took them off and the site works perfectly on IE for the PC.
my site is: http://www.leadline.com (I forward my domain with a mask to it)
or: http://web.mac.com/pthean/iWeb/LL/Home.html
Took me 2 hours to rebuild it piece by piece and test - so it really does not take that long. You just need to borrow a PC, upload after every new object and test. Once I found the offending graphic, I got braver and put up whole pages before I tested. As long as you can track yourself so that you know what to reverse back to in the event of IE crashing, you can find the offender rather easily (though painfully).
Cheers!

Applets Crashing Internet Explorer on Windows XP with JRE 1.4.0 Final

I have recently installed the 1.4.0Final JRE, and have found that upon arriving at a page with an applet on internet explorer explorer crashes. Where as under the JRE 1.3.1_02 it does not.
I am running Windows XP, and cannot remember the exact error message I get, however it is something about an error occuring within iexplorer.exe
Any help appreciated.

I have the same symptom on Windows 2000 (SP2) using Internet Explorer 5.00. Replacing the IE JVM with J2SE 1.4 causes IE to crash when I visit java.sun.com.
I am filing a bug with the JDC Bug Parade, but I am surprised that this has not been more widely reported, since I think I have a common system configuration.

My HP Color LaserJet 3600n won't install on new laptop running internet explorer 11 windows 8

HP3600n was installed on old Gateway desktop and was accessed wirelessly from Dell laptop with Windows XP.
I purchased new Lenovo laptop with internet explorer 11, Windows 8.1.
I am unable to access HP3600n wirelessly for some reason. I tried to install software on new Lenovo laptop from original install disk but get error msg that it needs IE 5.0 or greater to install. I have IE 11, what is wrong?

How to restore Adobe Flash Player for 32 bit Internet Explorer of Windows 8.1 64 bit?

Default Windows 8.1 64 bit install runs Internet Explorer 11 32 bit and all it's features, but slight disturbance for install of integrated applications runs user in such a trouble of loopback which he or she cannot escape, because problem application doesn't
runs for Windows or for it's programs, won't show it's Windows existence but wouldn't allow install of it's new software, I could only install complete new program for Windows program to run desired object.
I am using Rocket browser for Internet Explorer 11 32 bit because of problem of Adobe Flash Player uninstall or install.
But how many applications do I have to search, trial and if at all successful install for use because of problems of such applications of Windows?

As we have reviewed in other threads on the same topic. Internet Explorer for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 make use of separate management and content processes which on the desktop in a 64 bit environment are 64 bit and 32 bit respectively.
This is explained here on the IEInternals blog.
In most scenarios, the multiple processes are entirely transparent to the browsing experience. 32 bit addons continue to load and interact as expected with the content processes in which they are run and web scripts which detect browser architecture continue
to function, detecting a 32 bit browser.
In the Modern UI experience, the scenario is even more transparent as support for addons such as Flash and JavaScript are integrated into the 64 bit processes and updated through standard Windows Updates.

Answer for problem simply Got it !
Internet Explorer 11 needs websites 'Trusted', add all pages in need of running addons, and rest Windows operating system handles.
Now I am listening to songs on Windows Media Player (T3 skin) from a website which earlier messaged Adobe Flash Player not installed refusing playing songs, but now running programs without installing Adobe Flash Player.

Can't run an applet with Internet Explorer for Windows

I'm not sure this is the right news group, if not please direct me to the correct one.
I have an applet at http://209.55.115.36/webfit/Instructions/instructio_list.php?section_id=1&instructionsPage=2 It works in various browser except internet explorer for Windows. I've tried it with IE on windows XP, 98 and ME. Here is what I do.
1) I uninstall any copies of the Java Plugin.
2) I install a new copy of the Java Plugin
3) I test that I can see the Java Coffee cup in IE
I try loading in my applet and I get a big grey spot.
The applet works with all Mac Browsers, Netscape and Opera, but not IE. I don't get any error messages, just nouthing.
Any pointers or thoughts would be helpful. I'm under a time crunch because I wanted to show it off at a trade show this weekend.
-Gary

HEY! I saw what you're talking about! I was working on my own stuff, and my applet said it loaded and init'd, but was still blank. The only difference was I had upgraded to the Plug-In 1.4.1 this morning. So I went back to version 1.4.0 and it worked perfectly again. Maybe that's what's happening to you. So ignore the link I just posted and go to this one:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html
That'll let you download version 1.4.0 instead, and I'll bet you that one works. Let me know. Good luck!

                                  here are the ones that didn't work:    yahoo
                                                                                       msn

                                here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                          bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't. also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

Which is the best suitable version of internet explorer for windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

which is the best suitable version of internet explorer for windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

Hi,
Yes, Internet Explorer 11 is now available for Windows 7. It's the latest version of Internet Explorer for Windows 7. It's more smooth, stable and fast.
IF you have some incompatible website, you also could use compatible view to load.

Not running internet explorer in windows 8

Help! Can't get flash player to run on IE 11 and get the message "not running Internet Explorer in Windows 8"

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Google crashes Internet Explorer and Mac OS

From about 8 June 2007 google.com searches have consistently crashed Internet Explorer on Macs. This happens every time with Internet Explorer 5.1.7 on OS 9 and Internet Explorer 5.2 on OS X. The situation for OS 9 is particularly serious as often the OS also crashes. Repeated crashes of this type can damage disks.
Many UK users will not have noticed this bug as google.com has recently started redirecting to google.co.uk but, unless fixed by Google, these crashes will be with us for a long time especially for Google forms on non-Google sites and historic URLs.
You can try this for yourself with the following links:
1. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=googlecrashesie
2. http://www.google.com/search?q=googlecrashesie
At the time of writing link 2 will lock up Internet Explorer every time. It appears that the problem is restricted to Macs - perhaps because versions of Internet Explorer beyond 5.x are not available for either OS 9 or OS X. Many webmasters do not appreciate that there are still many users who prefer to use this old browser particularly on old Macs that are too slow to mount OS X. There are still a lot of these around (including early iMacs) used as second or home Macs.
Whilst one or two crashes are unlikely to do any significant lasting damage repeated crashes on OS 9 followed by the necessary forced quits can cause unpredictable and significant loss of disk data.

Flash Player 9 crashes Internet Explorer 6.

Hello
Previous versions of Flash Player worked fine on my Win98SE
system until I upgraded to versions 8 and 9, then it became
impossible to use Flash Player without a message popping up saying
that there had been an illegal instruction in module FLASH9B.OCX.
Occasionally I had to reboot my system which had become
unstable (blue screen - system busy).
I submitted the register dump from the FLASH9B.OCX crash to
Adobe and they provided me with an uninstall tool along with
instructions on how to (re)install the latest version.
Every re-installation of the latest version always ended with
an eventual crash of the FLASH9B.OCX module while visiting
different websites,
Adobe advised me to stop using Flash Player on the grounds
that there was, in their estimation, something corrupt within my
Win98SE operating system and/or Internet Explorer version 6, all of
which I have kept up to date with the latest patches from MS.
I downloaded a fresh copy of Internet Explorer and I also ran
the Win98 tool that verifies the system files and I replaced the
half dozen files that were flagged as being suspect (checksum
error, no doubt).
In spite of this, Internet Explorer still crashes when I
visit a website which has Flash media on it (static images).
I have resigned myself to living in a world without Flash
Player.
But the price to pay for not keeping Flash Player installed
on one's system is that there are constant requests to download
Flash Player via a pop-up window, and even my pop-up blocker can't
hide these constant interruptions.
Has anyone else had this same problem and if so, have you
found a better way to live with or without Flash Player?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
UPDATE: When I go back to version 8, then module FLASH8B.OCX
crashes in the same way as version 9.
If I go back to version 7 (7.0.19), everything works
perfectly. So what was changed in version 8 that makes my Internet
Explorer crash?

patch one to work.
I thought of "back-reving" to the latest Flash 7 player to
see if the issue goes away but I have yet to do that.
Good luck looking for a non-MMX code path hidden upstream of
the offending MMX instruction.
Going back to Flash 7 is relatively easy and you will
suddenly be able to visit places you haven't been in years, but
there are still some sites that will block you unless you have
Flash player 8 or 9.
First use the Adobe uninstaller to clean up which is found
at .
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14157
Then find a copy of :
flashplayer7r61_winax.exe
and run it. That will give you the latest Flash 7.

Since you mention Internet Explorer, I assume that you are on Windows.
Try downloading this installer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe, save it to disk, then close all IE windows and run the downloaded installer.

Adobe Flash Player in Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 8.1)

Hello
I am having a problem with Flash in IE 11 / Win 8.1. I understand it is embedded. But I keep getting the window at the bottom of the screen saying this webpage wants to run the following add-on 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Microsoft Windows Third Party Application Component....' I click allow and the message keeps coming back. On top of this, Flash will not work.
I have a feeling there is something corrupted. I have tried to download an update (kb3004150) and it says I already have this on my system. I also have tried to install it manually using the install_flash_player_ax.exe file, but to no avail.
What do I need to do to fix this and why aren't there other options on Adobe's site?
Thank you!!!

Adjusting the ActiveX Filtering settings should help you resolve those "Do you want to allow Flash Player" prompts:
Use ActiveX filtering - Windows Help
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11
If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Can't Roll back Internet Explorer on Windows 8.1?

We have had a few users download and install the Window 8.1 OS. Apparently this version forces Internet Explorer 11. Unfortunately IE 11 is having some compatibility issues that aren't resolved
when using compatibility mode. Is there really not a way to use a different version of IE on Windows 8.1?

Thanks Mark,
We are running into problems accessing the Citrix Access Gateway 9.3 with IE 11 on Windows 8.1, running into the same problem you listed, the site loads but the login boxes aren't displayed. We are also receiving an error on our SharePoint site when using
IE11 as well (Attached). It appears however it's not specific to the version of CAG:
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=339091&tstart=0
http://forums.citrix.com/thread.jspa?threadID=338862
The problem with CV is it only goes to the domain level, we have several sub domains we don't want presenting in compatibility view. This was mitigated in the past, with rolling users to a previous version of IE, until we could upgrade our internal
sites.
Thanks,
Mike T.
