    EDIT: Yes, I sent the error report, and got sent to this page: Error Report Page

    part of Internet Explorer,  that dialog.

    (Notice the "restart" option, this isn't present on an XP dialog)
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      I just now came up with the idea that something like ClamWin (you can see it in the taskbar) might have intercepted the problem. The strange thing is that Norton CrashGuard remained quiet.

      Oh, and BTW, I had to restart Explorer before taking the screenshot.

      EDIT: The report page recommends Windows Update :P but they dropped Win98SE support ages ago

        Grab a scrn shot of the "click here" message the next time the error occurs.....usually a problem with a dll file...the information there may help....This may be relevant to your mouse problem in another thread.....some form of conflict happening.


        Never argue with a stupid person, they'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

          No, the 'problem' was that I was wondering how come I actually got the dialog; it's in Windows XP and later...I'm used to IE6 crashing sometimes.
