From: kraut on 9 Aug 2010 08:37 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?

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. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Not necessarily, Facebook might well have been running scripts. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

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