    Lately I've been logging into a website on IE that
    features a chat room. Once in the chatroom, I'd see a list
    of users on the right side of the screen. I should be able
    to click on a user's name with the mouse button, and see a
    dialog box with various options on it. I should then be
    able to click on one of the options and complete the
    indicated action, e.g. open a private chat with that user.
    However, when I clicked on the dialog box IE immediately
    crashed, and I was forced to terminate it by opening up
    the task manager with CTL-ALT-DEL and ending the IE task.

    There are two other users on the system, one of whom is
    the system administrator. Neither one of them has the
    problem I described above when logged into this web site.

    When logged in as the first user, there's no problem
    accessing any other features beside the one in IE. I
    haven't noticed this happening in other chat rooms I've
    visited.

    What could be causing this, and how do I fix it? Any ideas?
