Whenever I try to send a message to a friend or they send me a message Xfire crashes. Why is this happening?
Unfortunately this problem is nearly always linked to a virus or spyware known as a browser helper object (BHO) on your computer. The reason we say nearly is because the only other instance of this happening has been from a conflict with Earthlink’s Total Access 2005. Earthlink has since released a patch for their software which corrects the problem. If you are not using Earthlink and have this problem, a virus is trying to inject itself into any Internet Explorer windows or controls which is crashing Xfire. Let us explain further. The expanded infoview (the pop out window on the side of Xfire and chat windows) in Xfire is an Internet Explorer control. By default the expanded infoview is open on a chat window. This is when the virus tries to inject itself into our IE control window, causing the crash, and displaying an exception report. We do not have a definitive fix to this problem since we are not virus removal experts. If you have a virus scan application, get the latest updates an
