I can confirm that I am running Windows 7 with SP1 and IE9. I can confirm that I have seen no problems with AOO stability in normal use. I can confirm that I've tried to trigger this problem, but that is hard given that we don't have a recipe to reproduce the problem. I have not done any formal testing of AOO, only general use in a reasonably demanding environment. Ross
