YAY!! Double Capture points today!!

Baby is sleeping, DD8 doing homework...time for mom to get some credits to buy new magic!!

Enter ID, 5200 people on, not bad, VMK logo screen....almost there....

"IE has encountered a problem and needs to shut down"



WHAT!!!

Does anyone have any ideas?? Been online and no problem. 5200 VMK'ers should not be a problem.

Anyone?? Help!!

It's not the amount of players online, it's the browser.

Have you tried firefox??

I get that message from both IE and firefox a dozen times a day. It sucks when you are in a host queue.

It could be a number of things. Do you have other programs running in the background? Is your connection weak? Have you upgraded Shockwave recently? Do you clear your cache regularly? Those are some of the things you can check and hopefully they will fix the problem. Don'cha just love computers?

Like Goofy said, without alot more information about your computer, diagnosing the problem would be pretty impossible.

Kind of like saying "my car has a noise" without telling the mechanic what the noise sounds like, what kind of car you have, where the noise is coming from, etc, you get the picture

More than likely though, your issue is a memory issue. Could be too many things running, not enough RAM, not a fast enough CPU, a bad video card, slow internet connection, faulty USB port, bad network card, bad install of IE, bad install of Shockwave, faulty install of RealPlayer or DirectX, installation of an older game, uninstallation of a game, installation of a joystick or gamepad, uninstallation of Acrobat Reader, installation of a toolbar, spyware, virus... the list goes on.

I was encountering that message very frequently up until about a month ago. (I'm running Vista.) Latest update to Shockwave cured it.
