Re: IE 6 crashes, XP Media Center Edition SP2

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Curious to know a bit more information. What's the webpage address?
When you say your Dell XP-M.E.- browser crashes....... can you provide text of message & drill down to get some of the error code ?

As you likely gathered, <BGSOUND> tag is used to indicate a background sound (file) to be played --- as long as the browser knows the tag & the system is sound capable.

On your Dell XPS' Internet Explorer, from menu, select Tools > Internet Options > click on the Advanced Tab.
Scroll down to the Multimedia heading. Is this line selected (checked) : "Play sounds in web pages" ?

Does the Dell have an antivirus / antispyware / 3rd-party add-on which is 'not' present on your other machine?

I encounter problems every time I try to access a specific web site

use the <BGSOUND> html tag in the script that may cause problems in
certain situations. The page has no problem loading in XP
Professional but crashes every time on my Dell "XPS" that came with
Windows XP Media Center Edition preloaded. The Microsoft Support page
directs me to the hardware manufacturer for an answer. Dell has no
answers. Any suggestions?
