Sorry, I couldn't resist that little joke.  IPF causing program shut down caused
by images scrolling left-to-right in lower tan area of screen.  Page is slow
loading @56K.  Error window contents follows:

MOZILLA caused an invalid page fault in
module NPSWF32.DLL at 0167:0185503a.

Tested this 2 or 3 times with same result.  Last time I tried ot stop loading
the page before it crashed and noticed that the animated banner on top was going
fine, leaving that out of the problem.

Build 200231708 on win98se

WFM, WInXP 2002032708. There are some flash animations on the page, and they run
OK with Flash6.

[Olivier Cahagne]

wfm using build 2002032803 on Win2k + Flash 6.0r21.

Reporter, what Flash version do you run ?
Can you try with latest nightly build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-talkback.zip
If you still crash, please submit Talkback ID (mozilla\components\talkback.exe)
if Talkback popped up when crashing.

[Adam D. Moss]

'module NPSWF32.DLL' -- the crash is in the
flash plugin itself, right?

Comment 4

[Steven Neil Groginsky]

I guess it's in the plug-in.  I think you're right.  However, just because the
problem occurs while executing the plug-in code, it's still within the Mozilla
environment.

[Frederic Bezies]

No problem using mozilla 2002032803 and flash plugin 6.0 r23.

Reporter:  I did a <Start>-Find-File on the filename in the Windows error
message and found the following:

NPSWF32.dll - Shockwave Flash v.5.0r41 is present in folders:
C:\Program Files\Internet\Opera\Uninst\Backup
C:\Program Files\Internet\Opera\Program\Plugins
C:\Program Files\Internet\Shockwave5

npswf32.dll - Shockwave Flash 3.0 r8 is present in folders:
C:\Program Files\Internet\Mozilla\bin\plugins
C:\Program Files\Internet\Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins

So it seems that I've got an old version of Flash somehow in both Communicator
and Mozilla plugin folders.

I will download today's talkback, test again as is, then uninstall Flash, then
manually delete any remaining plug-ins, then get Flash 7 and retest.

Comment 10

[Steven Neil Groginsky]

Reporter: Did not work just by installing Mozilla Build 2002032903.
Worked after I deleted all instances of plugin, ran Shockwave uninstaller, and
installed Flash 6.

Nobody should have that old version of Flash Player, so wfm.
