Re: Mailto: link causes IE 6 to crash

I do worry about it. I need to be able to click on this link and have it do
what I need it to do. I don't want to have to get up and go to another
computer to accomplish something that I should be able to do no matter what
computer I do it on.

A scripting error wouldn't explain why only this one computer has the problem.

But thanks again you guys for trying to help.

Hi PA Bear,

I am unable to give you the web page. It is a secure site that can only
be accessed by logging in.

I did get the code for the mailto: link. Maybe something in there will
help to troubleshoot. The email generates a link to a web based survey.

Can you give us a webpage containing such a mail link?

No, none of the links you give explain what's happening. When i
click on the link, the error message boxes pops up immediately saying
Internet Explorer has encountered an error and will now close. No
specific module or file name called out.

What baffles me is that the problem also happens in Firefox and
Netscape but again ...only at that specific computer.

Thanks so much,
Cyndi

Thanks Don,

I've done that and I've uninstalled and reinstalled both IE and
OE.

I know that for this link, Lotus users were having the same
issue. A workaround was created for them that sent the email to
their email address which they would then have to forward to
whoever they were sending it to instead of popping an OE window
open where you could just enter your recipient and hit send.

I can use this workaround to get done what i need to get done,
but I really would like to figure out what's causing the problem
because the OE process is much quicker and easier.

I'm having a problem with my new computer and a mail link
that is prepopulated in both the subject and body. It isn't
Outlook or Outlook express that's crashing, it's internet
explorer.

The error message that comes up is This program encoutered a
problem and needs to close.

The error details do not show a specific module, it says
unknown.

I am running IE and OE 6 and winxp sp2.

I have another computer running the exact same thing and I
don't have the problem. I have not been able to replicate
the problem anywhere else. Only on this brand new Dell 9150.

I had installed Netscape and Firefox - the error occurred on
those two browsers also.

I thought it might be caused by the PCMover program moving
over all the stuff from my old to my new computer, and in
turn causing a conflict or something in the registry.

I ran two registry checker/cleaner programs yesterday. Found
lots of invalid keys (probably from the move) but after I
cleaned it all up - I still had the problem in IE, but now in
Firefox or Netscape the browser freezes but doesn't crash
instantly upon clicking the mail link.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE and OE. I have
refreshed my scripting engine. I have refreshed my .dll's.
I am at a loss as to the cause or how to fix it. I have run
several malware/spyware programs and I am virus free.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cyndi
