Which version are you using? Full or Optimized? I can't get to your site or is there an example url I can see it at? That way I can test it on IE to see what's happening.

I am using the full version. Here is the url www.thebloems.com/photos/index.php
Thanks for the quick reply.

Try this.
Comment out or erase the following lines on the index.php about line 131.
<script type=\\\"text/javascript\\\">loadinfo(); var myTips = new Tips($$('img.toolTips'), {maxTitleChars: 50,maxOpacity: .9,className: 'tooltip',timeOut: 300}); </script>I am working a the new version using Mootools 1.00 which should fix this bug that I have with using tooltips.

I removed that code and I still get an Operation Aborted error in IE7. The main image preview does not load, but the thumbnails section does. The demo version on your site loads fine in the same browser, but I've tried both the optimized and full packages with the same results.

Could you send me an example URL so I could test it to see what's happening? That would help me to see if I can find a bug or the fix for it.

In your email you mentioned removing the lines in the post above, but I'm not convinced that's the problem. For one thing, I'd already tried removing those and I was still getting the error. And for another, I got this error on both the full and optimized packages, and the optimized version doesn't even have this code.
So there's something else going on here, and it's definitely one of those horrible sporadic IE bugs that makes life interesting. The problem with these is that they only occur occasionally, so it's very difficult to replicate and test them. But when the do occur they can completely crash IE6 and send IE7 into a tizzy as well.
I had a similar bug launching a ThickBox in IE6 and it was driving me crazy because I could never make it happen to me but users reported it enough to make me know that it was real. In that case I added defer="defer" to the script tag and it seems to have done the trick. At least people have stopped complaining that this site crashes their browser, which is a big change from before I added this code.

The only time I've been able to get this error to be reproduced is when I was using the Tooltips options with Mootools v.83. I know that with v.1 of mootools it seems to be working correctly. I am not sure if it is the way I wrote the tool tips or if it was a bug with mootools v.83 (which is the version e2 photo gallery is currently using). When I removed the code for the Tooltips, all the errors disapeared for IE6 and IE7. But of course if it keeps happening, with you and others, maybe the defer="defer" will work.
I am working on the new version which will be using mootools v.1 and I think this will alleviate the issue. At least that is the hope.

My experience with this bug in IE6 leads me to believe that it's not so much about the validity of the scripts being run but IE's ability to execute them. In IE6 it seemed to be a browser bug and not related to the script being launched (although it seemed to be triggered in certain context and when using certain methods). I know that some of these things were definitely fixed in IE7, so the fact that this happens in it also makes me wonder if there is a real script error or not.
The defer="defer" code basically just gave IE6 some breathing space, but it seemed to work a lot of the time so it's worth a try.
The really frustrating thing about this particular type of bug is that it's almost impossible to reliably reproduce in order to debug, so I feel your pain.

i'm also having problems with ie7
it's strange, because when i view the demo on your website, it works fine in ie7.
the problem is when i upload to my client's server. see here:

---edit again---
