I think this has more to do with the machine, rather than the browser. The link broke my IE in the same way.. Machine slows, and locks, requiring a forced hard reboot. Laptop with 450mhx cpu and 128 meg of ram, with a 5 gig HD Running Win2k, with IE6 and Firefox 0.9.2 However, my collegue's machine (1.6 ghz cpu, 1 gig ram) worked fine in both IE and Firefox, although firefox did render the page FAR more slowly than IE. There may be an issue in how firefox handles .BMP files, but I'd be more concerned with cpu and mem usage on older machines irrespective of browser. a -- Andrew Poodle Consultant IRW Solutions Group Ltd 17 Glasgow Road Paisley PA1 3QS t: +44 (0) 141 842 1142 f: +44 (0) 141 842 1134 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.irw.co.uk --------------------------------------------- IRW Solutions Group Ltd IRW Platinum: Strategic Consultancy IRW Focus Blue: e-Business Software Solutions IRW Associates: Managed Services --------------------------------------------- This document should only be read by those persons to whom it is addressed and is not intended to be relied upon by any person without subsequent written confirmation of its contents.
