One
of the most common problems around the office seems to be the browser crashes
when attempting to open files in a SharePoint document library.
Yesterday, one of my user had raised a ticket that he is facing
a problem with Internet Explorer 6 crashing whenever he try to open an office
document in a SharePoint.
Exact issue details: You connect to a document library in a Microsoft Office
SharePoint Server 2007 site or in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
3.0 site by using Windows Internet Explorer 7 or Microsoft Internet
Explorer 6. However, when you try to open a Microsoft Office document,
Internet Explorer crashes (stops responding).
This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
- You install a Microsoft Office 2003 product
on the computer.
- You install one or more 2007 Office system
programs on the computer.
- You repair or update the installation of an
Office 2003 product.
In
this scenario, the older version of the Name.dll file becomes the registered
version. When the Owssupp.dll file is used, it tries to use functionality that
is not available. This condition causes Internet Explorer to crash (stop
responding).
Resolution:
Download
and install Microsoft Hotfix Patch
Another
issue which is based on the same story but configuration is different:
