Hello, I am new to computers and Windows XP. Whenever I try to access a
few sites that I've saved in my favorite, The site shuts down and sends
me to my desk top wher there is a message that I don't understnd. It
starts hs_err_pid3204 the numbers change each time. These are sites I
used all the time.
Can someone tell me what causes this and tell how to fix it?

Darby, go to
www.google.com and use "hs_pid_err" (without the quotes) as
your search term. There seems to be a small amount of history on this. Some
dates back a few years but there seems to be a rash of recent problems with
this kind of error messge.
Apparently, the error is related to Java but the cause can vary. I am
seeing discussions about video drivers, spyware, certain programs, Sun's
Java plugin for the browser, etc.
Since the errors seem to occur only when visiting certain sites, Sun's JRE
seems a likely candidate. Possibly the problem sites are still optimized
for the MS JVM or it may just be a common error existing at those web
servers.You may want to contact Sun's technical support (or browse their
online help area) to see if you can get some more information.
