+Babsbaby Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I've recently started having the problem whereby when I try and open the Google Map on a cache page, it starts to open in a new window but then closes down all Internet Explorer Windows I have open. This started happening a couple of weeks ago. Can anyone throw any light on what might be going on here? Cheers! Link to comment

+Babsbaby Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 What Operasting System do you have? Service packs? What version of IE? Hi! I'm running Windows XP, Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 and Internet Explorer is version 7.0.5730.11|s. Well that's what the machine tells me. Does that help? Maps have been running happily for the last 18 months. Link to comment

+Trucker Lee Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Biggest problem is IE. I solved that by using Mozilla Firefox. Edited May 5, 2009 by Trucker Lee Link to comment
+Babsbaby Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 I haven't installed any new software. In fact, I've run my housekeeping utilities and have cleared out a whole lot of rubbish in an attempt to fix this problem. Link to comment

Try upgrading to IE 8 - it is stable and actually is compliant with some standards. Link to comment
+Babsbaby Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Thank you for your kind advice. I tried the Mozilla Firefox approach and the Geocaching Maps show up fine and somewhat quicker than previously. One drawback was when I printed one off and I got blank squares instead of the GC icons. Not a major issue, but I'm curious to know what's going on now! Link to comment
