    Hello all
    I have started having a problem over the last 2-3 days. Whenever i try to open pages in a new tab the browser crashes :( Same problem with Internet explorer and Firefox. For example if i try to open different parts of this site in seperate tabs it crashes as soon as i do so.
    I am using Vista Home Premium. 2 Gigs of ram. i cant remember ever having this problem with XP. I am using upto date McAfee anti virus and firewall.

    Try disable any add-ons you have and see if that makes a difference.

    If not do this

    Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.
    • Close all other windows before proceeding.
    • Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
    • If your anti-virus or firewall complains, please allow this script to run as it is not malicious.
    • When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.
