What The Hell is Going on With This Place

Something really strange is going on.
On a thread of mine i posted yesterday i'm trying to get into it to read the replies but it keeps crashing Internet Explorer if i do then my computer freezes. This has happened on 2 computers so far.

If anyones game can anyone get into it.

Subject is Files Transfer on page 2.

**chrisjk** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 08:47 PM

c'mon, we're lazy, give us the URL!!

**chrisjk** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 08:50 PM

Don't worry, this is it right? http://forums.vb-world.net/showthrea...threadid=69763

on page 2.

There is no page 2

. But the whole thread shows fine and dandy. Must be you.

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 09:05 PM

page2 of this Q&A forum sorry!

I can get into every other reply/post except this one and it doesn't matter what computer i'm on!
I even posted it from my home computer!

Bizarre
What does it say?

**Chin311** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 09:17 PM

it happens to me too, I had to restart =-\

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 09:31 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmm

I got into it via an NT4 workstation!

Jethro · Apr 22nd, 2001, 09:38 PM

Currently using NT4 Workstation and IE5.

**chrisjk** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 09:44 PM

Was okay for me on Win98SE, IE 5.5.

**crptcblade** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 09:46 PM

not one problem on my end...WinME/IE 5.5

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 10:04 PM

crashed 98se ie5, crashed 95 ie5 and it's not just me.

wierd!

**chrisjk** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 10:11 PM

maybe it's a prob with 5, cause 5.5 is ok for me and crypto

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:30 PM

It aint IE 5.5 coz i just spent 1.5 hours downlaoding and installing it and it still crashes!

This is weird. Why just that thread?

**Zevlag** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:35 PM

Well I am using Win2000 IE 5.0 and it works for me..

try the security updates at www.windowsupdate.com

**crptcblade** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:36 PM

have you tried clearing your cache, and all that? I don't know, I'm really reaching here...

**MidgetsBro** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:37 PM

Is that the thread that has to do with Internet Transfer? I tried it on two computers, one with Win98SE + IE 5.0 (crash!) and one with Win98SE + IE 5.5 (crash!) it's not just you. Stupid BSOD! Well, I guess I won't be replying to that post anymore...

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:43 PM

yes and yes i can't read the replies. I need to though. It' ****ting me.

**Zevlag** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:46 PM

Hey whats up with your "REBOOT" link Midget? Maybe its somethingi like that....that crashed my WIn98SE....Just like that thread does...But they are both fine on Win2000

Zevlag

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:49 PM

That reboot thing was fixed in 2K.

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:50 PM

Maybe fixed in the right word.
Changed/disabled

**MidgetsBro** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:51 PM

HEHE, my reboot link just goes to a page with the code <img src="c:/con/con"> It has somthing to do with unpatched versions of windows. It crashes certain 98 and 95 machines, but I don't know why.

**Zevlag** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:51 PM

OK but what was it? Could there be something like that on that page? dunno

**Beacon** · Apr 22nd, 2001, 11:59 PM

Jethro · Apr 23rd, 2001, 12:01 AM

Missed this...don't you just right click the link and click on Save Target As...

Perhaps, if we wanted John and James to see this, wouldn't this thread be better off in the Feedback Forums?

**Beacon** · Apr 23rd, 2001, 12:20 AM

Well, it has claimed another life.
A Soldier ant has fallen. chrisjk will now!

Jethro:
Nope not me. How would I?
And so far yes only that thread!

**chrisjk** · Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:17 PM

if you put it as a filename, unpatched versions of Windows will crash (usually BSoD). Something to do with the comm ports in DOS or some rubbish like that. Windows can't handle it and blows up. Unless you have the patch from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

**Static** · Apr 23rd, 2001, 05:34 PM

J2LUK (Just to let you know)

Win98 IE5.0 - Worked fine.

**da_silvy** · Apr 24th, 2001, 02:25 AM
