Found out about this a couple of month ago.
Some kind of bug makes windows crash. Dont know if SP2 has fixed this. Havent had the chance to test it yet.

Warning: Dont know if it works, Please kill all important work curently on your computer if you have Windows.

Some browsers are immune to this bug

Firefox works great

I know opera are supposed to be immune. So Firefox works fine 2. Nice. Maybe the bug is actually in Internet Explorer.

Yes, the dimensions are what struck me the most. However, it ran perfectly fine in Firefox.

Har har...this is so funny:

The only error I had was an image that loaded saying I had an error. Oh no!!!! :rolleyes:

*lame*

Anyone still using IE deserves this.

That is actually true but this has to do with Windows XP. The big doesnt work on older versions of Windows.
