I have windows XP Pro and I downloaded Safari 3 because I am a Mac user and I wanted Safari on my XP machine. I crashes every time that I try to open it up. It pops up the box Safari has a problem do I want to send it to Microsoft. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having this same problem - "Safari has encountered a problem and needs to close" blah blah
I agree with Federico Parodi, it looks very like the problem with iTunes 7.2.0.35, which has now been fixed.
That crash was apparently caused by "an SSE instruction set that is not present on some older CPUs". For some reason, Apple do not have any hardware that matches this configuration in their QA lab. Any Apple techs looking might wanna check that out.
Only difference I notice is that, for me, Safari looks as though it's about to load, then crashes. With the iTunes crash, it went straight to the error with no delay. I just see the top of the Safari window, then it crashes. Still, it looks similar.
Oh well - firefox is probably better anyway.
Yes. I have the same problem; I just installed the beta of Safari for Windows on my Pentium 2 400 MHz machine. It rune windows XP Pro and crashed instantly. However, I also installed it on my XP Home 3 GHz system and it runs fine; i thing it does have something to do with an SSE instruction.
I'm a Mac User and it's crashing everytime I try and launch. I'm running 10.4.9 and everything on my system is right up to date... I hope someone has a fix by morning... I'm off to bed here in Ireland... I'm starting to see double... been a long day....
I have the same problem, but something strange happens to me. I installed Safari on my user account that has administrator rights, and I when I try to open Safari, it crashes, but on another account in the same computer (also with administration rights) it opens without any problems.
I have an Athlon 64, and I was also able to open Safari on a Sempron, so I think that Safari doesn't have any problems working on AMD.
