3 out of 5 times I come to the forums my browser (IE latest) crashes with a wininet.dll error.

Does anybody knows why and how to fix it?

    Is it just these forums? And do you think it's someone's sig or maybe flash or something?

    yup, only here. I don't think it's a signature cause I couldn't even get to this thread just now.
    I had to try 3 times before I was able to load the page... :scratch:

    and thanks for the prompt response... :thumbsup:

    I get an error with Clutch's sig. Could it be that.

    There was an error in the Firefox banner I had before, but I removed that last night and it seems to be gone. Let me know if it still happens.

    I specifically said:

    Clutch, you were not in this thread until now so your signature is not the problem. ;)

    He was having problems before you posted in this thread though, clutch.

    that is totally bizarre. Try disabling javascript, or resetting IE to all defaults.

    How do I do that? will that affect my login and stuff at other sites?

    I saw where you thought it was not a sig issue but it could still have been. If you would have said I know for a fact it isn't a sig then it would be different. And since mmonnin also saw an error with my previous sig, I just thought it could have been the same issue, but oh well.

    Also could be an issue with SP2, I have seen some secure sites screw up with SP2, even though SM isn't a secure site it still could be an issue you are having.

    Wow, I'm kinda suprised that Equito wouldn't know how to do that.

    No error now.:)

    I was thinking it could have been in one particular person's sig but I guess not.

    You should know by now that I'm the hardware type... :D
    I didn't even remember that a "Reset Defaults" button was there.

    Thanks for the tip, unfortunately it didn't work.
    I don't think SP2 is responsible as I've been using it since the beta days and never had this problem before up until 2 days ago.

    Nope, everything is clean.

    I didn't mean for my post to come across in a negative way. Sorry if it did seem that way, my apologies.

    I've tested IE6 with the latest round of fixes from Microsoft. Browser didn't crash. Tested it against FireFox, same again nothing.

    Il keep digging around incase there is something that would cause IE to stop functioning. We stopped using the full WYSIWYG interface because there were browser issues. Il do some investigation over @ VBulletin.com.

    Thanks for the link and the tests you've done. Yeah I saw that the other day when looking for a solution and even though that procedure only applies to W95/98/Me I tried it anyway but it didn't work... :(

    Microsoft blame anyone else but themselves as usual EQ.

    The item that would most likely crash would be some of the javascript used to power the editor.

    Im gonna mock up a test version of SM that doesn't use them. Il pm you a link for unit testing.

    Thanks Shorty, I appreciate your concern but don't worry about it. I don't want you to waste your time on this specially when I'm the only one complaining. There must be something wrong with my browser for sure.

    :cheers:

    Yeah but I am interested now. If it is a bug somewhere, It'd be useful to know so I can report back to VBulletin on it :)
