    Vista Ultimate

    I use Vista Ultimate and IE I don't know maybe IE 7?

    Why does these 2 days when I minimized IE and maximized it back, it could not be opened? I mean the drawing of the window is having a trouble. It was like unresponded. It had no difference even if I only open 1 tab browser inside it or a lot of tab browser.
    I tried to do the same thing( minimize and then maximize the window ) with explorer but it works just fine no problem.

    Yesterday, I had got message from Windows stating that Windows is trying to fix the problem.

    What cause this? Is it the IE and the Vista?

    How to solve this?

    Thank you very much.

    speculation: Flash animations. ie7 with vista has been working fine for months, but I started having the exact same issue.

    About 10 months ago, I was having the same problem when a new Flash version was released--I think there has been another update and the problem has returned. Some time in the next couple of days I intend to remove Flash completely and see if the problem recurs

    I was able to fix the Flash problem on my machine by right-clicking a Flash movie, select Settings or something... and then tell it to disable hardware acceleration. I recommend doing this for Firefox too, if you're having any crashes.

    There is, sadly, no way to fix this issue other than performing a re.install/repair vista. Updating IE7 to IE8 beta will make no difference.

    cheers ...

    fwiw, I uninstalled Flash and refused to install it every time IE asked and have not had a problem since.

    I'm going to reinstall again and see if the problem comes back
