need help with edge-gamers.com

I see a definite change in how we play video advertisements in the dual window. I also do NOT see the type of video controls, (sound, position, pause, etc.) that was present in every one of my captured failure moments.

I see the same ads that failed previously and don't now, but even those have different controls.

If that change was not done by us, but by the advertisers, then perhaps we need to characterize what they did to change the controls. If it was us, then we already know. I am willing to continue to try to find a plug or patch to Internet Exploere that would allow the old controls to work, but I would need the system to start failing again in order to do that. Our WEB site is the only place where I experienced these problems.
 
Lets hope that the problem is resolved and you go back to enjoying the site without having to diagnose it.
 
In case I have not said it... THANK YOU for everyone's help and support in this.

Bottom left ad kept crashing for me:

http://tag.coffeetable.hiro.tv//iframes/Coffee_SS_Syndication/Coffee_SS_US_RON2.php?serverUsed=coffeetable.hiro.tv&sendPublisherEvents=false&affiliate=${PUBLISHERID}&companion_method=none&parentURL=http%3A%2F%2Fedge-gamers.com%2Fforums%2Fcmps_index.php&syndicator=Coffee_SS_Syndication&publisherExternalID=Coffee_SS_US_RON2&parentDomain=edge-gamers.com&browserName=Microsoft Internet Explorer_10.0&samplingPerc=1&lastEventTime=1366236004317&width=300&height=250

Did Johnny's fix, it worked.
 
I found my problem occurred with Internet Explorer version 9 too. However, I no longer experience crashes like this. I believe it is due to something specific about the video ad. My system would crash when a specific type of video ad appeard that had specific tools in it that were displayed in a unique way. The video ad controls have changed for our WEB site to something different and I no longer have a problem.

If I ever experience the problem again, then I will try this. For now, things are working fine for me.
 
Internet Explorer started crashing for me again this morning. I noticed the original controls for the video advertisements are back too. As suggested, I highlight Shockwave Flash Object and disabled it. It prevents the video ads wtih controls from showing up. I get a white empty spot where the advertisement would have been. Internet Explorer also STOPPED crashing.

Thanks for the tip. It stopped the Video Advertisements from displaying and prevented the annoying Internet Explorer crashes.

Well I don't like to toot my own horn but... toot.
 
I enabled Flash for other software and....
Well, and here we go again, back to the crashes with the video advertisements.

I am looking to do a fresh install, and kick my daughter off of this machine so she can't install anything on it. She clobbers my scores in DoD anyways. She has put other games on here as well, so I hope to limit what goes on this machine and see what happens.

The problem is definitely not you, per say. Reformatting will most likely not fix your problem.

I'm no web designer but if I were to take a wild guess I'd say there's a JavaScript attempting to pull up the video ad from the ad server. When it does flash is like HOLD THE PHONE this could be malicious, so it halts the JavaScript thus creating the crashes.

And herein lies my conundrum. I'm not sure if it's Adobe's fault or the JavaScript's fault.

But rest assured Artimus has sent in additional information and maybe the ad company will reply back with some good news.

In the meantime, as others have suggested, installing a better browser such as Mozilla's Firefox or Google's Chrome is the best solution to fix your problem.
 
Internet explorer has stopped working

Here’s the mail I got recently

I understand that you are getting an error message "Internet Explorer has stopped working" on your computer. Please provide us with the following information to assist you in a better way.
1. Are you using the Modern User Interface Internet Explorer or Desktop version?
2. Have you made any recent hardware or software changes to the computer prior to the issue?
This issue is usually caused by either conflicting browser add-ons or incorrect or incompatible Internet Explorer settings. I would suggest you to try the following methods and check status.
