Fancybox is very moody

[diabolo]

So fancybox works on one of my machines (XP) and probably works for most of the users out there in the world, but it doesnt work on my other machine (Vista). Javscript is enabled. And it is not only one browser, but across all browsers it would just overlay then and freeze. Does anybody know what is wrong with my machine?

Well, I've got some major-league bad news for you: your posting here comes up as the number-two entry on the first page of the Google search results for Fancybox Vista freeze, and the entry before (and entries on the rest of the first and second pages) has nothing to do with the problem you're describing. So, you're unique -- not a good thing with a bug. The only thing I can think of is your video subsystem -- are you running integrated graphics on an older motherboard (one with a truly tiny amount of video/graphics memory available)?

Memory would seem to be the root cause, fancybox can be 'sticky' on occasion particulary with the Zoom or Shuffle options but normally smoothes itself out once the page has fully loaded.

As I'm using it in my site it will be interesting if any others have a problem.
