Hi Glen,

Guess that'll teach me to jump into the middle of a thread (now where did I
put that "embarrassed" emoticon now).

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

I get the Microsoft Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to
close. Error report containing what I've listed.

I usually able to plough through something like this, but after several
hours and trying *many* things, no luck. Though I am no expert on what goes
on behind websites, I'm still wondering if it has something to do with
Flash.

Can you open this page www.hmsgold.com It directs you to a welcome page
that I can't open (Firefox has no problem) It just hangs. However, if I in
the address bar delete everything back to this
http://www.hmsgold.com/hmsgold/ I have no problem. The welcome page has a
lot of flash going on.

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

Can't be flash related... I uninstalled my Adobe Flash Player (9.0.47.0) and
still receive error message.

I tried it a few times and it was fine, opened a few tabs on the website
and it was still fine, then opened a new (dual) window on the site and
clicked around even some more, then all the sudden I did get a send error
report (same one that bobster did, which btw is driven by the dr watson
oriented DW15.exe which dumps in its dw.log file

The Send Error Report basically had this in it:

AppName: iexplore.exe
AppVer: 6.0.2800.1106
ModName: mshtml.dll
ModVer: 6.0.2800.1543
Offset: 000970c6

I rarely get these errors so I would suspect something within the websites
webpage construction; which is something I would not be concerned with
personally unless every website did that error on you.

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

OK, I musta disabled Dr. Watson some time ago!
Actually, it sounds familiar that I did something like that, but I can't
even remember how, at this point. :-)

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

Yes, I was able to open that web site. I'm on dial-up, and it took a few
minutes to load, but it finally did.

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

I disabled the Dr. as well... I guess when all else fails, it's the
obvious... The site itself, as it's really only happening there. Just hate
not being able to solve the problem.

Thanks Rick. We'll let this one, RIP

MSHTML.DLL
Desc: Microsoft (R) HTML Viewer
Loc: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
Mod: Friday, May 19, 2006 03:52:28 PM
Size: 2,702,848 bytes
Ver: 6.00.2800.1555

And I know, from notes in my SFCLog.txt, that one of the following put
it in here...

Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB918439)
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1
(KB916281)
Security Update for Windows 98 (KB918547)
Security Update for Windows 98 (KB917344)
Security Update for Windows Media Player 9 for Windows 98 and Windows ME
(KB917734)

Of those, my guess is it was KB916281 that did it!

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

I'd be more than willing to try (yet another) version of that mshtml.dll
file (like your newer version 6.00.2800.1555), but I haven't been able to
find it yet on the net. I have tried one or two others, and still have
issues.

I see that glee eventually crashed, & he has my IE & MSHTML.dll
versions. I've even gone into the symptom checker now-- it's a tad slow,
but hasn't crashed me yet. This is my 2nd time at the site.

What shows up in the IE About box-- do you have Cumulative Security
Update for Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (KB916281) there?

I think it would be best to go for that, instead of for a stray
MSHTML.dll. HOWEVER, here is an old post of mine that has other
alternatives, possibly first suggested by Dundat (G. Gedye)...

the following will give you version...1173, but, weirdly,
this fix came out earlier than v...1170.

816506 - The removeNode() Function in a Script Call May Cause an Access
Violation in Mshtml.dll:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=816506

Version 1173 of mshtml.dll may be downloaded directly from Microsoft at
this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d5-0a58-40e8-a963-7496c71d1f40&DisplayLang=en

I don't know whether those URLs still work, & obviously those seem
ancient compared to my current v.1555.

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

Note the following post that I made last december.

I have been using the 6.00.2800.1586 version of Mshtml.dll ever since,
with no issues.

I spent about 5 minutes clicking around http://www.webmd.com and IE
didn't crash or mis-behave. The answer could very well be in
installing this entire hotfix, as described below.

I am listing the updated DLL files along with the version and file

The last 5 files must be replaced under DOS (ie they can't be replaced
while windows is running).

I have replaced the above DLL's and have been able to run IE6 on my
Win-98se system and haven't seen any problems.

Some may want to un-register the old DLL's and then register the new
versions. I simply renamed the old files and copied the new ones to
my Win-98\system directory (that's where they all normally reside).

Well, I'm now using version 1274 of mshtml, and it still happens.

And I also got it to crash with versions 1170, and I believe 1106.

Interestingly enough, one time, and only one time, it didn't crash (when I
first tested 1170), but then it did again later on. So I'm back with the
newer 1274, (although its not as new as your 1555, which I should probably
look for - and test). The highest one I've found so far is 1274, but I
may not have searched enough.

Mistakenly, I went there again. Certainly a case of "too much information"
(which even I don't want to know about. *ggg*
Anyway, I malingered about, clicking and searching (search probably needs
Active Scripting to work) and no problems. Then went back to the main WebMD
home page by clearing address bar of sub-domains. It crashed. Error Message
is:

I am showing "Macromedia Flash Player 8" listed in Add/Remove Programs.
What do you see there, or in "C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Program Files"?

Because the site does involve animations, I can think Macromedia has
something to do with it. It is a site involving tons of TIFs of various
file types too.

Also, what are your settings at... "Internet Options, Security tab,
Internet". I am set to Medium there. And at the "Advanced tab,
Multimedia section", all are checked except the first item (which is the
only "don't").

I still haven't crashed there, even replicating Roxana's reported
activity. HOWEVER, the site did slow to a crawl, until it was closed &
re-opened! NOW, it is back to modicum-slow! That site really does give
TIFs a workout, Colorado!

Do note that above. Happens even with version 1274.

Version 9. I'm ahead of ya. And Version 10 of Shockwave.

Maybe, but I seem to be pretty up to date with both Flash and Shockwave.

Medium Low, for less nags.

All are checked except: "Don't display online content in the media bar",
"Enable Automatic Image Resizing" (I didn't like that one as I recall),
"Enable Image Toolbar", and "Show Image download placeholders", all of which
shouldn't matter here.

But like I say, it did load up ok one time, which seems to suggest it's not
in there, anyways.

Re: IE Crashes on this medical website?

I hope this poster is the true and real 98 Guy since the post is not filled
with hatred like previous ones. I hate identity theft because it has
happened to me twice now and first in a home break in --- in Tucson Arizona
with the theft of my social security card, place trashed, computers tried to
be accessed -- BIOS password stopped mine from being accessed and now in 2007
with the hacking of my computer because I was stupid and did not follow
proper VPN security protocals. Please email me if you want further details
dewspace1975@hotmail.com

Just remove the space --- BTW, I will only answer emails from people who I
recognize so if I don't know you don't even bother emailing and if you do
into the trash it goes for all you spammers out there --- <grins>
