I've been working/fixing windoze PCs since Win3.1 and I've hit yet another new one...
My coworker is running WinXP with IE. When opens IE and tries to print the page, it gives him the option to choose which printer. If he tries to scroll over to a different printer, everything goes blank!
The usb keyboard, usb mouse, and monitor all kill at once. He doesn't even get a BSOD. But the powersupply is still running.
I've done a virus scan, spybot scan, and even looked through the processes with HiJackThis... Nothing suspicious.
Everything looks to be pointed @ IE though. If I open IE and then open HijackThis to check out the processes running, I get it to crash when I select Explorer.exe and scroll down. Also if IE is open and he just starts doing other things, it will eventually crash.
Problem is that he has to use IE at work.
Anybody else seen something similar to this?
