Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / July 2004EX 5.1.7 freezes periodically
For a couple of months my EX 5.1.7mac freezes for about a minute. Then it will run well for about 5 minutes. This seems to have become a regular event. I have a large collection of favorites - pageholder, toolbar, favorites if that means anything. I'm on a mac pb g3 wallstreet 2gb 233 hz 325 ram. Any clues? Also, does this explorer ng also address Outlook Express issues. If not, is there a place to go? I didn't notice on the list of MS newsgroups. Thanks, Rafael I can answer the second question and would be interested in response to his first. I'm on a G4/733 with plenty of RAM and have the same mysterious freezes that come and go for no apparent reason. The other ng is at news:microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac Jim from Hilton Head -- Remove the obvious to reply. > From: "rm1008@sbcglobal.net" <rm1008@sbcglobal.net> > Newsgroups: microsoft.public.mac.explorer [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks, Rafael This same freezing takes place on OE5. ----------------------------------------- For a couple of months my EX 5.1.7mac freezes for about a minute.

Well, if it is a Javascript that's causing the freezing, the only thing you can do is disable all scripts from playing within IE's Preferences. IE will no longer be updated, so it's quite possible that scripts now exist on the Web that surpass how IE interpret them. I now recall that this "Internet explorer script error" comes up very often when I'm running explorer. Since my feedback from you(NG) has suggested a java problem, maybe this is a lead to the problem. The message says: Internet explorer script error A script error occurred. Some scriipts on the affected page may not work correctly. Microsoft JScript runtime error Line 225 Char: 16 Error: Object expected Do you want to continue running scripts on the affected page? Don't show errors-Source-No-Yes [choices] I recall that sometimes a window like this appears and Java is mentioned in the error message. I don't know what "JScript runtime" means Is this a better lead to a fix?

Yes, that's the place to disable scripting. As for plugins and ActiveX, you enable or disable according to how you want IE to perform when it comes across items needing those services. > >> IE will no longer be updated > > What does that mean? Plain and simple... Microsoft has stopped producing ANY updates for IE on the Mac. A few months ago, Microsoft stated in a press release that they were discontinuing the IE product on the Macintosh. So, in other words, you're stuck with what you've got. Microsoft will not be fixing IE anymore. > >> scripts may now exist on the Web that surpass how IE interpret them. > > What does that mean? The last version of IE for the Mac is now almost two years old. During that time, the world of Web programming has continued to advance, and so have the various scripting languages used. Since Microsoft is no longer updating IE on the Mac to keep up with those changes in scripting, IE may not be able to render anything using them. > Thanks, Rafael > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Stephen?
