Microsoft Visual Studio Advert

Hi All

I'm a "quick surfer", so as soon as I can see a link on the forum that I'm looking for, I click it without waiting for the whole page to complete loading.

See the attached screenshot where, when I click on a link while this ad is shown specifically, IE hangs.

Also, I open multiple windows. (IE6) When I open too many at once that load simultaneously (I think it's around 12 windows) IE crashes with the standard MS error: "Send / Don't Send".

Do you guys reckon it is the ad, or just me being impatient? :)

IE hangs.

There's your problem ;)

But seriously either use FireFox or update to the most recent version of Internet Explorer. As for the real cause i can not say i often do exactly the same and thats with multiple tabs open and multiple windows (browsers) open and nothing of the sort happens to me.

The problem is that I cannot install IE7 (our Siebel implementation does not support it) nor Firefox. (Siebel supports it, but our web templates do not)

It's not consistent, so it's not too great a concern, though I get it around once a week...

Disable ActiveX or update your Flash player.

that many instances of IE, particularly with flash content running, is an awfully large demand on system resources. I would say that's the reason for the crash. Will they let you install an IE shell? You can install one that will use IE 6 DLLs, and use no more than five to 10 MB of resource with 12 tabs open, depending on what is running in those pages.
