Internet Explorer gave me this when I was closing a blank window titled "about:blank" :"This window is busy. Closing it may cause some problems. Click OK to continue."
wtf? I wish I had taken a screeenshot...

Wich version of windoze are you afflicted with?Also what version of Internet Exploder are you infected by?
I'm just curious to know which versions you're running, so i can avoid them.
I really couldn't say what might have caused that, other than a GWS error.

I've seen this before also. I think it's a php problem.Php is like a scripting language for html. When it messes up it will sometimes open a page called about blank. I think thats what causes it anyways. The sites that do it tend to always be php coded sites
IF anyone has more info feel free to add on on this.

... yeah... unless IE uses PHP for their about: system, I seriously doubt that...

at the equipment we use at work, we have received two very odd errors. (it's a copy place btw)CATASTROPHIC FAILURE (on the win nt system)
The size of the original is unsuitable.

about: is a way to load a text string as a webpage. In your IE window type about:Hello and you will see the word Hello in your browser window. The word blank is used to load the browser with nothing in the window. I don't know what it was about this function that caused IE to crash.
