Windows 7 Sleep mode problem with IE9 and Skype 5

Posted on June 20, 2011 at 21:54 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

If you have both IE9 and Skype 5 running on a Windows 7 PC, you may have problems with going into sleep or hibernate mode. Apparently your PC may hang for an extended period of time and then Bluescreen.

Ends up there’s a previously unreported conflict between Win7, IE 9 and Skype 5. Details on the Microsoft Answers forum.

Solution? Uninstall IE 9 and re-install IE 8, or uninstall Skype 5 and re-install Skype 4.

Thanks to SB for the heads-up!
