IE Crash while Opening Forms

Hi All
Issue: While opening forms from IE, IE crashes.
I have faced this issue many times. First after upgrading to IE7 .. then upgrading to Vista .. recently installed a proprietry software using JRE ..

Also Oracle Applications Forms client is not supported on vista unless you apply some recommended paches. You can refer metalink note: 285218.1 for all the details on all patchset levels.

So whats the easiest way
Copy the jvm.dll file from you JRE - bin - client to Jinitiator jvm.dll
i.e.
C:\Program Files\Java\ \bin\client\jvm.dll file to C:\Program Files\Oracle\\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll

It solved the problem for me in all above cases on lot of machines.

Another easy way is use firefox when you need to open the forms. Some times when you are using IE for long your forms will not get opened from Firefox. It will install jinitiator again and again when you open the forms.
Go to Control panell and remove all the versions of Jinitiator you have there. Now open firefox. Open the form you want to open. It will install Jinitiator and you can open the forms.

But you cant go to every user and ask them to install and use firefox for using Oracle Apps .. so i prefer the first workaround.

Hope this will help you as well.
