Title: Internet Explorer still crashing in virtualized mode
Post by: Hermite15 on January 30, 2010, 11:25:29 PM

just what the title says... sorry I think I already started a topic a few weeks ago about this exact same issue but I cannot find it. I generated a dump file for IE while it was crashing, if you want it just let me know...

update: IE/32 doesn't crash, ie freezes, like it first did but now opens and closes immediately, always in virtual mode. And strangely, IE/64 runs perfectly fine in virtual mode  ;D

Hi Logos :)

I never use IE, but because of this topic I tried and can confirm the problem with IE 32 :-\

Sorry guys, I wasn't aware of it, tried Win7 x64 + IE x86/x64 and no problem here.

Logos: could you please upload the dump? thanks a lot
Rednose: thx for telling me ;)

Confirm both IE and IE (no add-ons) are non-starters when right click of "run virtualized" is used in Vista x32.  Right click of "open" runs normally.  No crash, just no program.
