Default I keep crashing!!!!!

My computer keeps going back to its desktop whenever I visit the hdforums website. I enjoy reading and posting but something ain't right. It happens on my computer here and when I'm at my brothers house as well, so I know it's not just my computer.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem when using my Netscape browser. With Internet Exploer it works fine.

Hey Ultra, I had the same thing happen to me while at work and it was fine at home. A buddy told me how to fix this problem. Go to "tools" on the top bar and then click on "manage add-ons". Then disable one at a time till you can stay on the page. You can allways revert the changes if it does not work. The one that worked for me after I disabled it was the "shockwave flash object". Give it a shot! Bubba
