Internet Explorer 6 SP1 Update: Internet Explorer May Unexpectedly Close When You Leave the Pointer on the Text in the DHTML Editor
In the DHTML editor of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1), when the text in the DHTML editor is a link, and the pointer is at the end of the link text, Internet Explorer may unexpectedly close (crash) when you try to exit the page. You may also receive a "General Protection Fault" error message on the Dhtmled.ocx file

The image also contains a Universal Media Disc, the 1.8GB mini disc-style storage device that will house games, movies and music. It's not entirely clear where this will slot into the machine although, judging by the curve of PSP itself, it looks as if UMDs will be inserted into the side of the machine.

"PSP will be the Walkman of the future," said Kutaragi, who also added that Sony eventually plan to add "telecommunication features" to the device.

"PSP will not be one kind of product," he said. "Rather, it is a platform of related devices with the capacity to add or subtract features."

Kutaragi also announced that final design details are still to be confirmed, so it's unclear how different the current mock-up of the PSP will be to the final model.

Meanwhile, with PSP's movie and music-playing capabilities, Sony have explicitly stated, "We are taking on iPod with our new device. We are coming at [Apple CEO] Steve Jobs on that front." In addition to PSP, Sony will next year release a digital music player to rival iPod for just $60 (around £35).

So that's what's causing IE to crash on my computer. I hope this works

Well that's no good, neither updates will install, say that IE 6 SP1 is required, well that's what I'm running!

#3.1 tmaxxtigger on 06 Nov 2003 - 12:51

Ah, cause I'm running Win2k3 for development. If you extract the files and run from the command prompt then they install...

A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Only apply it to systems that are experiencing this specific problem. This hotfix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Internet Explorer 6 service pack that contains this hotfix.

Reading is fundamental...

It's good to see that they have a patch for vml problem

I don't see this on Windows Update. I never update things from news sites unless they are listed on Windows Update. And even then, I don't download it from the news site...I go to...that's it...Windows Upddate.

#6.1 Latka on 06 Nov 2003 - 15:09

Then perhaps you should try reading a little bit, since this news post contains the links to Microsoft's sites, with the full report on those issues:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=826940
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=827057

And... where can you see a link that states the download is on neowin? Try hovering your mouse over the download links... it's not that hard.

#6.2 Krankerz on 06 Nov 2003 - 20:01

Perhaps YOU are the one that should read. I never said it was difficult to update from other web sites. I just prefer Windows Update.

#6.3 mrbester on 07 Nov 2003 - 10:44

I tend to agree. After noticing this article I immediately checked Windows Update (on a IE6 machine) and the firm's installation of SUS and saw nothing.

The average noob / corporate user won't think of (or dare) searching through Microsoft's labyrinthine site to discover either of these KB articles (and sysadmins wouldn't either for that matter, they'd Google for it if they had a problem, and wouldn't really care otherwise). The "may" in the titles is annoying as that means it isn't rated important enough for SUS (or similar) to download for possible deployment. Also, end users won't know there's a fix unless they use sites like this one.

IE periodically crashes on me anyway. It normally has nothing to do with such fancy things as VML, SVG or DHTML editors, but more because it felt like it
