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

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.

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.
