IE 7 crash when trying to open attachments from Hotmail
How specific is that huh? In all honesty it could have done it with any non-embedded documents for all I know, I didn’t check. The full story is the client, using Vista, got this problem yesterday along with not being able to open Word documents. You would try to open one and it would say the document was unavailable.
The fix? Clean out the temp files. I use CCleaner for this, since it’s very thorough. Why this fixed it, I really don’t know. There wasn’t anything else obviously wrong, like malware or viruses, so I can only assume something got corrupted somehow.
