I don't think its an image problem since my MC also crashes when I just open the help stacks and click on the hyperlinks therein. I do think its an OS problem since MC 2.x was stable as could be on my IBM laptop and Mac 68030. My Home Page with free online legal information Page perso avec liens

Hi guys, since your message is from 13th - check if you have this W32.Blaster.Worm on your machine. regards eugen Not in my case: I've had this problem for a few months now actually. I really think, at least for me, it's an OS problem (Win 98) since under 95 and Macos I had no such

Thanks Ken, Actually, I set an image (not in any group) as a background picture (it doesn't need resizing and no mess with patterns' sizes.) The image was imported in the beginning so it has not changed. There is a second image which servers as a viewer for this image browser. This means the

Yes, I have a similar problem. I am told however that it is due to the memory management of the OS, which I believe since OS architecture was designed around supporting Kbytes of memory and drive space and now has to support Mbytes and GBytes. Not only HTML images but the MC help stacks also do

Well, I'm not sure if this is gonna help, but I have the feeling it's a memory problem. ... I only experienced these problems in edit mode. In standalones everything's works perfect... DITTO: I never once had a problem with standalones, only happens in edit mode. My Home Page with free online

Thanks /H But... This may not work on an executable... Also, this is a work around, not a solution. Considering that browsing across images works fine (although it's slow if the image is around 3MBs - slow compared to ACDC for example), if you can change images simply by setting the filename of

So, just to be clear, you are rotating an image by setting its angle property, enlarging the image, and then setting it's blendLevel? Not really. One image with the blend level is the static not-moving/resizing/rotating background image. The browser image is the one that resized or rotated.

Xavier, If you could post exactly what you're doing that causes the crash, we could try it on our own systems. Images and htmlText with pictures doesn't quite cut it. When you say changed a blend level on a background picture do you mean a group that contains an image with its backgroundBehavior
