MSN Maps & Directions freezes

IE6 Win XP All updates. All of a sudden when I used the zoom and drag
functions my computer will freeze and at times will get the blue screen
error. This seems to have started after I downloaded the 3D view but have
since uninstalled it.
Any ideas? Google Earth poses no problems at all.
Thanks

Hi Mike,

I've had no problems on Vista x86 SP2, Win7 x86 and IE8....

3D view is graphics intensive and I can't remember if it was 'Beta' and/or
IEx or greater was required.
no....
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, Windows Internet Explorer 7 or later, or
Firefox 2.0 or later
250 MB or more hard disk space
A 1 GHz processor (2.8 GHz or faster recommended)
256 MB of system memory (1 GB recommended)
32 MB video card (256 MB recommended) that supports Microsoft DirectX 9
A high speed or broadband Internet connection

Have you rebooted since uninstalling?

Did you make a restore point before installing?

What about the standard IE troubleshooting method... run IE in no-Addons
mode... Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Internet Explorer (no
Addons)

Regards.
