I'm going to guess it's your Flash banner ad causing the crash. Try removing it.

Thank you for your prompt response. However, I have tried removing that. In fact I have tried removing any chunk of code that looks like it could be suspicious but still to no avail. It would seem that there is something inherent embedded into this paticular file!? Not possible sureley!?

I can't find anything unusual about the file itself. It's probably a problem with the software that crashes, since opening a sane file (or even a large or corrupt file) should never trigger a fatal error. You might want to consider using some other application instead.
If you want to keep trying to isolate the problem, you can try a few other things. Copy the source code text in the HTML file and paste it into a new file within your application. Save it and see if that also causes a crash. If it doesn't, then the original problem could have been because of a corruption or hardware flaw, or some faulty metadata handling. If it does crash again, try rebuilding the source code incrementally from scratch until you get crash. In either case, you might have an encoding problem too, so check out what character encoding is in use and try another.

Thank you
Yes through process of elimination I have resovled the issue by manually rebuilding the code. however, I am still not clear what has caused it, but anyway, many many thanks for taking the time to reply to my posts, its much appreciated:)

Funny one this, if the problem appears consistently with that file you should report the problem to Adobe, after all you paid for the software: if there's a problem they should fix it!

Umm, the file attached is pretty much the result after stripping away anything that could look suspect such as broken references, external links etc, I also removed the flash embed! It does crash, it is definetley this file. I have reported this to Adobe, who are getting back to me. To be fair, I find Adobe support excellent so Im expecting them to easily be able to tell what im doing wrong. I dont think its the software for one minute, plus I run it in an almost perfect operational environment, we'll have to see - thanks for your interest
