4680.0. "NT 4.0 SP 3 vs. IE 3.02 Java" by PYRO::RON (Ron S. van Zuylen) Tue May 20 1997 04:20

    There have been more frequent reports of Internet Explorer 3.02 hangs
    with Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 installed... and they seem to be
    related to the Java VM since IE normally freezes while executing web
    Java applets.  Re-installing IE 3.02 does not seem to help.
    
    For the most part, they've been connected to extremely high color depth
    settings on Matrox MGA video adapters.  Lowering the video color palette
    from the maximum of 32-bit (True Color+) to 24-bit (traditional True
    Color; 16.7 million) -- or lower -- resolves the problem for many.
    
    (There were similar IE applet hangs reported before SP 3... but far less
    often.)
    
    Of course, your mileage may vary.  We'll see what happens once
    Microsoft takes a closer look.  A patch for IE 3.02?  Stay tuned.
