IE8 Send Link as Email Causes Crash When Flash Drive in USB Port

[petergoode]

If anyone has any thoughts on this curious issue, I'd be most appreciative of
a response.

I have noted that when I have a flash drive in a USB port on my HP Pavilion
notebook running Vista 64 Home Premium 64 bit, if I then click on "send link
as email" from an IE8 web page, it causes Windows Mail to generate the
"stopped working" and "restarting" crash sequence.

I do not have this issue under any other circumstance.

Again, thanks in advance for any thoughts (aside from the obvious solution
to NOT click on "send email as link" when a flash drive is in the usb
port...<g>).

"Not having the issue under *any* other circumstances" - do you mean without
the USB drive it works normally? Some folks don't know how to make those
features, send page / link, work at all so I'm just asking. I just plugged
mine in and do not have any problems - but I'm using WLM on a Dell - not WM
(got rid of Vista awhile back).

I don't imagine it will have much effect, but you can try compacting and
repairing the database and see if that has an impact. See
