When trying to connect to an intranet site IES closes.
After the url is entered, as soon as the enter key is pressed, IE disappears.
This is on a Sony laptop, XP pro, sp2 with patches up to date.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
 
I have seen the same with IE 6 after updating it last month - although only
with sites requiring Adobes SVG plugin. I then installed the re-released (on
24 Aug) patch MS06-042 (KB918899) which may have helped a little, but not
solved it. This is what I wrote in another post:

Installing the re-released patch seems to have lessened the frequency of IE
crashes, but not removed them entirely.

I'm a web developer/sysadm, developing geographical information systems.
I have only seen this bug on my sites that require a SVG plugin (Adobe SVG
Viewer 3.03). Install it first, then try:

For example,
http://kortportalen.dk/nmwebhotel/f...5&yMax=235296.734375&furl=&mapw=1100&maph=715

You can click on this 20 times or more and it's ok, then suddenly the
browser just closes down, no diagnostics.

I've seen this on:

6.0.2800.1106 (Windows 2000 SP4)
6.0.2900.2180 (Windows XP Professional SP2
6.0.3790.0 (Windows 2003 Server, no service pack)

Around about the same time (mid-august) another sporadic bug is appearing.
This is also only on sites displaying SVG. You get a pop-up box titled Script
Error, displaying:
Unknown error
Line: 193, column: 2
(the line number varies). This is a bit more frequent than the browser
crashing bug, but I suspect they may be related when they only happen in
conjunction with SVG.
