WFM on WinXP trunk build 2003102304.

Reporter: please download a recent nightly build from
<http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest/> and try again.
If it works, please resolve this bug as WFM. Thanks !

Downloaded nightly Mozilla version and retried.  Still has the same problem
although the screen flashed just prior to disappearing.  That may have been due
to turning on the Netscape Agent which caused a slight delay.

Went to the same site again.  The link above this one worked fine.  Tried the
original link again and got error messages before it disappeared.

First one - On top of the screen, which displayed in full this time, it says
"The plugin performed an illegal operation.  You are strongly advised to restart
Navigator."

Second one - "Mozilla.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  If you
were in the middle of something the information you were working on may be lost.

Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
We have created an error report that you can send to us.  We will treat this as

I've sent the same report several times over 2 days so did not send it again.

do you still crash using latest pre-1.6 build ?

Make sure you also upgrade Flash plug-in to v.7.x
