*goat starer* Posted Jun 11, 2009, 2:21 am	The darkwind website keeps crashing IE to the point where I have to terminate the process (cant terminate the application) in task manager. It happens when i close IE or navigate away from the Darkwind site. The whole computer locks up.. CPU usage goes to 100% and sticks there. IE shows as not responding in the task manager. I would think it was my computer but it does this on no other websites i have found. Any technical types out there have any ideas? (other than the usual one of 'why are you using that microsoft crap.... I'm using it because i am technically illiterate )
*goat starer* Posted Jun 17, 2009, 1:23 am	any ideas anyone.. this is getting silly... even navigating away from the DW website to another page can lock IE up completely.
*Grograt* gary.r.horder@gmail.com Posted Jun 17, 2009, 10:27 am	Used to behave in the same manner for me, install 'Firefox' its very user friendly and dweeb tolerant. Seriously this cured the problem for me, must just be an IE failure to recognise software, it is bug ridden

BigStick Posted Jun 17, 2009, 2:43 pm	I get the same. I'm running IE7, on WinXP-home When I start DW Client, I usually open of 2 windows: - Ganger pages (with 4 tabs opened: Info, Characters, Vehicles and squads) ... and assorted - Forum page When I go to close IE after a DW session, IE does the same things you describe and just plain locks up. I usually just kill it in Task Manager.
*goat starer* Posted Jun 18, 2009, 4:34 pm	cool... i thought it was just me. yep toe.. mine only started a couple of weeks ago.. was something changed on the site? and gro i have no idea how to 'install firefox'

*goat starer* Posted Jun 19, 2009, 11:48 am	nope... thats what the computer man at the computer shop is for. i put cds into the cup holder and press the big button on the front... everything else is for trades people.
*sam* Posted Jun 19, 2009, 2:04 pm	Sorry about that. I have noticed an error message in IE7 on the front page. I have fixed it already for the new website I'm working on; will fix the current site too now. I didn't realise it was causing a serious problem for others (it's nothing more than a popup message for me, no crash). edit: sheesh, it took a while to find again actually. A clash between the code in the google adverts and another code library ('prototype') - updating the version used in the latter fixed it.
