Stack Overflow in IE7

I am running a Dell Inspiron 6000 with 1 gig memory and a 100 gig HD under Win XP Pro SP2. I use CA Security Suite 3.2.0.3. I have completed Dell's extended Hardware tests (a 3 hour process) and all systems passed. None of several different virus, spyware and registery management programs show any problems. When I log on to cell.myway.com using IE7 and move the mouse pointer to the mypage box, I get a stack overflow on line 81 message. The same thing happens when any of the other three boxes (my email, my calandar, or my settings). I have changed the config.sys file to include the line STACK=64,512 and several other numbers recommended in several user forums. I have updated the BIOS from A07 to A09, and have installed the latest version of the drivers fron the Dell Website. I have also uninstalled IE7 and reinstalled it from an MS web page to be sure I got the latest version. None of this works. When I log on using Netscape this does not happen. Is the problem with IE7, with my computer, or with the dell.myway.com site? How do I fix it other than using netscape. This problem only starrted happening following a clean install of Windows XP Pro two weeks ago. The clean install was the result of a repeated, random DREADDED BLUE SCREEN ERROR. The DBS Error is a different story for a different post. Thanks in advance for your help. Dick Harral

I went to www.dell.myway.com in IE 7 and found no problems. I am not registered or signed in there though, but I can click on those boxes and new pages open without error.
 
Many problems with IE 7 arise from incompatible addons that were OK in IE 6. As you have no problems with Netscape, that could also be the case for you.
 
Try opening IE 7 with no addons (there is an icon for that in system tools folder, or click start, run, type iexplore.exe -extoff press enter (note space between e and -).
 
If you do not get the problem when running IE 7 with no add ons, you can renable them one by one or in batches, until you find the culprit.
 
Many addons (e,g, third party toolbars have updates for IE 7 compatibility, so if this turns out to be the cause, check the relevant site.
 
XP home SP2 all updates, IE 7 all updates.



PS. Just to double check that it was not a sign in problem, I registered, logged out, signed in. No problems. I customised my home page a bit, and again everything OK.

As this is almost entirely US orientated and I'm in the UK, I don't think I'll be going there again :-).
