Re: Driver for display goes to a infinite loop by viewing a html!

[Conor Byrne]

I can confirm this is also a problem on windows NT SP6a with the
latest patched version of IE. On this machine no scrolling is needed
it simply locks up the screen and the BIOS emitts an angry beep,

A hard power cycle is needed to get going again.

Upon restart windows throws me into VGA mode and brings up a dialog
indicating an invalid screen resolution was choosen.

I am running Win2k with all of the latest patches, SP 4 and running
Mozilla 1.7. While it did take a while to load and scrolling was
deathly slow.. It did not crash my system or Mozilla. Since this is
my work machine, it's only a 733Mhz with an older video card. I am
perplexed as to why a newer video card would crash Windows with a
fatal error.
