Browser shuts down

[Jeff]

When I try to open certain web pages my browser shuts
itself down. Not just IE but Netscape too. All I do is
click on the link and then not only that page but all
open browser windows are immediately closed. It is not
just one website either. It happens at lots of different
sites (i.e. nfl.com). Any ideas?

Do you have an example URL?

Both of these sites do it:
http://www.superbowl.com/scores
or
http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/af/content/white_trash_chri
stmas -- and click "Watch Film" on the left.

-- and click "Watch Film" on the left.

That opens up a popup window.
Does it crash in the window you click in or do you get a popup window?

Do you have a popup suppressor active?

Here's what you get in the popup window.

< http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/contentPlay/shockwave.jsp?id=white_trash_christmas&preplay=1 >

Does that link work for you by itself?


BTW the other site will work if you disable Scripting (e.g. set it to Prompt
in Security Settings and answer No) but this one requires Javascript
unless you use View Source to figure out what links are being generated.
