I'm going to shoot someone... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Czas na Zywiec · 05-21-2003, 12:45 AM

I hate computers. OK, my IE is acting really funny. When I open it, it works fine, but like 5 - 10 minutes into browsing, I get a message (See attachment below) and it closes my IE. So I try and open another window, but I get the message again and it closes. It's driving me nuts. I even tried restarting a few times, yet I still get the same message. Can anyone help me? Justin?

I started to have the same experience tonight whenever I would activate this one desktop shortcut to take me to the "Who's Online" display. I had never gotten that message under that kind of circumstance before. I tried re-booting, re-doing the shortcut, switching from Nestcape to IE, etc. It seems that I now can't go directly to that URL, although any other URL on or off SOL still works fine, as far as I can see.

Now I get it right when I come to the boards. Meangya.

I tried two different URL's to SO from my favorties, and I got the same message both times. So I went browsing around a favorite sit of mine for like 10 minutes, and nothing happened. I guess it's just the boards. It's so frustrating though.

Hmm.. I dunno. I know that EFD was having some problems with this board though. He couldnt post or anything- it kept saying Illegal Operations.

It's a relief to know that it's probably not on our end.

Czas na Zywiec · 05-21-2003, 01:18 AM

Oh My God, I had to open IE about 10 times before it let me this far on the boards. Now it warns me after I get here, whether I folow the link in my favorites or type the address in my address bar. At this rate, it'd take me 3 hours to check for a few new posts on the boards. I'll have to either re-install my software or just stop coming here altogether.

DarleneIllyria · 05-21-2003, 01:46 AM

One of my friends was having the same problem. Notify TJ of the problem. Maybe he'd know what was wrong. I think my friend just got the errors on SO. Don't think he got them anywhere else.

At first when I read that and the pic hadnt loaded yet, I figured it was spyware related lol

Perhaps its one of the banners at the top causing this? hmmm

I've gotten that "illegal operation" message,before,but not here.I hope you get the situation resolved,soon.

*PinkLady* · 05-21-2003, 01:01 PM

My computer does "illegal" stuff all the time.

However, SO is one of the few sites it recognizes as legal.

Stormtracker TF · 05-21-2003, 02:25 PM

Never happened to me regularly before, but if i click a link and press the Scrolly button on my mouse to scroll down before the page can load it does that "Illegal Operation" thing. Strange.

Babes_Cat · 05-21-2003, 02:42 PM

Oh God..... that used to happen to me everytime I had AOL.... sorry Huny. It sucks.

dawsongirl · 05-21-2003, 03:26 PM

I get that message at least once a day. I figured it was either ME or my laptop. Whatever it is, it pisses me off.
