IE9 tab crashes
Testing Environment
OS Version: Win7 SP1 64-bit Dutch
IETester Version: 0.5.1
Default IE Version: IE 10.0.9200.16521
Bug Description
In the IE9 tab most URL's crash the tab. e.g., wwwgoogle.com, http://google.com, http://www.google.com, wwwgoogle.be and http://google.be
But some URL's don't. e.g., http://www.google.be and http://www.ugent.be
It looks to me like it's got something to do with redirecting. (In Belgium google.com redirects you to google.be)

Re: IE9 tab crashes
it appears that when you don't use a full domain name including the "http://www." that it craashes.
kind of odd.

I have a similar problem with the same setup:
OS Version: Win7 SP1 64-bit English
The IE9 tab was working fine when my default IE version was 9, since I changed to IE10, this bug started to show. But I can't confirm since I changed IE-tester version from 0.4 to 0.5 around the same time... It's very very hard to roll back windows to IE9 from IE10...
I was also able to reproduce this redirection bug with google.be like previously mentionned... and also with my site too.
Example: the url "m-kos.net" redirects to "www.m-kos.net".
My test: "m-kos.net" crashes in IE9 tab, and don't redirects in IE7, IE8, IE10 tabs. Works only in IE6 tab. The IE5.5 tab crashes even when empty...
My suggestion: IE10 on Windows 7 introduced a lot of new behaviours in Windows, some are maybe coming from Windows 8, and IE-tester is less stable now...

The new version of IE-Tester 0.5.2 has not addressed this issue, at least on Windows 7 SP1 and IE10 as the default IE browser.
I've tested IE-Tester 0.5.2 also with Windows XP SP 3, with IE8 as the default browser, and there is no problem at all here.
So I think this new IE10 for Windows 7 introduced quite a lot of new Windows bugs. IE10 was written for Windows 8, and Microsoft decided recently to make a Windows 7 version of IE10 as well... Sounds good on paper, but it's not quite compatible!
Merci Fabrice pour ton travail...

This bug seems to be triggered when ever an IE9 window encounters a 302 redirect. The tab crashes every time.
No problem with IE8 or IE10 windows. Just IE9.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll have a quick look at the redirect process, maybe it's something where I can find a simple workaround.

Has anyone figured a solution for this yet? I'm trying to find out why a clients javascript menu does not render properly in IE9 and of course...same issue as others...the IE9 tab is malfunctioning.

I can confirm that the issue (or at least one of them) is almost definitively related to HTTP redirections. If I disable redirection, source page loads fine. If I load the target page directly it loads fine.
(It's a pity because I'm using XP Mode for IE7 and IE8; I only need IETester for IE9.)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits SP1
IETester 0.5.2
I'm experiencing the same issue, but it crashes for any URL entered in the IE9 browser. Is there any status on a resolution for this?
Interesting thing is the error doesn't seem to occur on another computer that has IE9, not IE10 installed.
Windows 7 Ent SP1 x64 with IE10
IETester 0.5.2.0
