someone else please go to google.com and search for the single word 'devil'... It won't work for me. I was looking for a little cartoon devil for a site logo and found a problem. When I hit the search button, the page starts to load, then another window comes up and crashes IE, I'm running IE 6 on win2k.. and I'm confused :) My sisters does the same thing, I haven't downloaded any updates in a week or so, so that might help but I don't feel like doing all that right now.
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=UTF-8&q=devil
try using that link, see if you get any luck
Also, is it just that word that google crashes on?
Seems to work for me.
PuRe
no problems here either... on win2k or xp (both have IE6 with all available patches)
Thanks for replying, but that link didn't help, it still crashes IE and it's still wierd as crap! I'll try it at work tommorow, I'm sure it will work there... I guess my comp is trying to tell me something :) screw it all!
Um, you can search for others terms perfectly? Because, doesn't seem to be google's fault. :) Maybe you should see your resource meter when you search for it, see if CPU usage jumps to 100%, when it does, it's usually software at fault. Funny error though.
well, i also didn't found any problems at all. But why i don't understand why should IE crash when u r googling with the word "devil" ???
hey no problem for me either and it seem work ....
Insteas of the Word "devil" try using "Bill Gates"...should have same search results. :) heh!

Your first problem is you are using IE (closely followed by running XP! :)) Have you thought of using something different like Mozilla? (www.mozilla.org)
Internet Explorer is intimately connected with the operating system, has a vast number of acknowledged security problems and obtains it's configuration information (including your name) from the operating system.
While I am aware that none of this affects the problem which you originally posted about (no idea why that's happening), if you are concerned about your own security and privacy (which you obviously are or you wouldn't be on AO), switching browsers is a small and easy step to increasing your security.

You wouldn't be trying this search on a machine that runs some kind of internet safety software (like CyberPatrol or NetNanny), are you? That would be the only thing I can think of that would be monitoring the keywords you enter into a search engine, and I can imagine that "devil" might be flagged keyword. Sounds to me like something is catching your query and trying to do something but crashes before it can finish.
must be you sorry, works ok 4 me 2
1st link is :
www.alcyone.com/max/lit/devils/
try that !!
ok, it works on my work computer, and no, It was a perfectly run of the mill win2k setup with IE6 on a cable modem routed over my lan I set it up myself about a moth ago. I guess this was just a random problem, like when I accidentally wrote a bit of perfectly normal javascript a few years back and it froze my computer, but no one elses (98se and IE4). I don't plan on searching for 'devil' anytime soon anyways :)
mindpilot, you would get the same results from searching 'devil' on google as you would 'god' on microsoft.com :P
are you sure its just the word devil??
i once heard a story about a computer that was possessed and it decapitated two guys that were standing around it. they got this preist guy in the excorsize it. hehe, seemed to work :P
