Occassionally when on Facebookwith MSIE if I have 2 instance of
Facebook open (Different pages) I will get an error message of "Stack
Overflow at Line: 31". When I click OK the page finishes loading
fine.

Any suggestions as to what is going on?

Running:

<<< System Summary >>>

All that was running other then virus and 2 instance of Internet
Explorer was what Windows itself had running in background.

TIA

The "stack" is an area of RAM for temporary storage of the variables in the
registers and other things; eg, when a program "calls" a subroutine a value
is pushed onto the stack; when the subroutine terminates, the "return"
removes the variable pushed by the call and program execution resumes at
that address.

If a stack overflows, something is trying to store too many variables there.
Another possible cause is not removing previously stored values. In either
case, it is due to poor programming and there is nothing you can do about
it.

Not necessarily, Facebook might well have been running scripts.

Thanks for the reply. Thought maybe it was something wrong on my end
but I never have had problems running anything else. Just on
Facebook.
