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.

The exploit isn't triggered via a opera browser. There have been reports, Matrox G400 video card, driver (version 5.82.18.0.) on windows 2000 (sp4) also crashes. in, http://www.geocities.com/visitbipin/crazy.html The image itself is not big but the html resizing of it is big. <img width=9999999 height=9999999 src="crazy.jpg" regards, bipin gautam http://www.geocities.com/visitbipin/
