oldbloke's mutterings

Firefox crashes on some content in normal windows mode, but not in Safe Mode. Interesting. And IE hangs in normal, but exits in Safe. Narrowing down the search...
SpybotSD didn't turn up anything that would do this, just the usual stuff we get from online shopping. About to run Sophos's commandline scanner (had to get it from Sophos as the Uni don't seem to have looked after it since I left - I used to update it daily and rebuild it monthly: the script for the updates is clearly still running but there's been no rebuild so it's essentially useless)

But Firefox isn't crashing for me anymore. Well, on the pages I've tested it on anyway.
It is still crashing for L though...
Which ought to be a Clue.
Can anybody suggest any registry or config file entries that might be worth looking at?
IE still can't connect to anywhere.

...only large corporations could afford computers, and they had bugger-all storage capacity
I don't suppose this is the first sub-100quid terabyte, but it's the first one I've noticed
