Docementation pages crashes my laptop

I have been using the online documentation files for around two years, and
have the documentation file (by chapter) in my favourites. On Friday when I
tried to access the page it made the whole screen display disappear and
lokced up my machine - I have just tried it again today by actually clicking
on the link from your site direct - the HTML, one page per chapter option in
the My Sql Reference Manual list on your documentation page (which points at
www.mysql.com/documenation/mysql/bychapter/index.html ) and exactly the same
thing happened. For a very brief time before the screen went blank it
looked like the apge was there written on top of itself (possibly). I have
not changed anything on my laptop, so could you please advise me what has
happened - I am using IE5 (I think - how do I find out) on Windows 2000 - is
it possible that you have changed something that now makes it not work for
what I running.

Thanks for any assistance

Thanks for the report. We've received a couple more similar reports from ou=
r
users, so it's not just you, but haven't been able to reproduce it on any o=
f
our own machines so far. All of the users have reported running IE5, so it
must be something related to that particular browser.

We're trying to resolve this issue, but for the time being, the workarounds
are:
- upgrade your IE to 6.0 (for all those security patches, this should
be a reasonable idea anyway)
- use the commented manual at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en


Rgds,
Indrek
