When I am online and have 2 or more windows open from the same site
occasionally/eventually the icon on the button in the system tray will turn completely black and shortly after that windows will inform me that it has to close. What's up with this behavior and how can I fix it? Urge |

What "icon on the button in the system tray" are you referring to?
Exactly how does Windows inform you that it has to close? What message do you receive, in its entirety? Does it say you are low on resources or some other error? Do any other icons turn black at this time? If you are having a problem with icons turning black in general, or the wrong icon displaying, try this: Delete the shelliconcache file from Safe Mode, per the instructions he Icons Displayed Incorrectly in Control Panel: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=133733 OR, Click StartSettings Control Panel Display Appearance tab: Click the "Item:" drop-down list and select "Icon" Note the current icon size in the "Size:" box next to that. Change the size, click Apply. Change the size back to what it was, click OK. And, Find the file named shelliconcache (it has no file extension), in the Windows folder, and delete it or rename it to shelliconcache.bak, then re-boot. OR, If you have TweakUI installed, click Start Settings Control Panel TweakUI "Repair" tab, select "Rebuild Icons" and click Repair Now. Download and install TweakUI1.33: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...US/Tweakui.exe Following that, set the Max Icon Cache setting in the Registry to 2048: http://www.aumha.org/regfiles.htm Scroll to 'IconCache Fix', download, unzip, then right-click the enclosed .reg file, click Merge on the menu that appears, and OK to the confirmation message. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Urge" wrote in message news:r99Li.969$1d2.226@trndny05...

This is the advice that has been posted elsewhere. It involves removing the
latest version of the Adobe Flash player, and installing an older version. FWIW, I do not allow any version of Flash layer to be installed on any of my machines. I'm told I am missing some animations in certain web sites, but I can live with that. Quote To install Flash Player 8, follow the instructions on these pages: Uninstalling: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_14157 Installation of Flash Player 8: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_14266 Read the readme.txt in the latter to find the right version for your browser and OS.

... This is the advice that has been posted elsewhere. Where was this posted? The Flash Player site says that FP#9 supports my system. Do the FP folks not understand their own software? System requirements Hardware Adobe has tested Adobe® Flash® Player 9 extensively on the following minimum hardware configurations: Windows Intel® Pentium® II 450MHz or faster processor (or equivalent) 128MB of RAM Operating systems and browsers Flash Player 9 is supported on the following minimum operating systems and browsers: Windows Platform Browser Windows 98 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later I uninstalled ver.9 and installed ver.8.something. It seems to be working so far under very limited testing. It involves removing the latest version of the Adobe Flash player, and installing an older version.

It's one thing for the manufacturer to state that the new release is
supported in your version of the OS - it's another for it to actually work correctly. Often, testing with older versions of the operating system is very brief. Hope that was the solution. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Urge" wrote in message news:OYpOi.3128$ai2.1594@trndny05... "Jeff Richards" wrote in message ...
