    <p><strong>Warning</strong>: <em>the solution described below corrected the problem on my computer, but the problem may not be the same on your computer... YMMV.</em></p> <p>So, the incriminated popups are displaying an HTML snippet. This snippet is rendered using <em>mshtml.dll</em>.</p> <p>The same <em>mshtml.dll</em> is used to render HTML Help files (files with extension <em>.chm</em>). On my computer, i discovered that i was not able to open any HTML Help file: the HTML Help Executable (<em>hh.exe</em>) was crashing at launch. </p> <p>After some more research (i won't go through all the details of the search), it appeared that the drivers for my display adapter, which is an nVidia GeForce 540M, were at fault. They were outdated, and their installation got probably corrupted.</p> <p>After updating the drivers, the system was back to normal: i can open HTML Help files again, and Eclipse is no more crashing when displaying those little HTML filled popups !</p> <p>So, the first step for you would be to check that you can open an HTML Help file correctly. Then you should check your display adapter driver installation... If it does not solve your problem, there can be many reasons for mshtml.dll file to crash, try to make something using mshtml.dll crash: this crash might give you more information than when eclipse brutally exits.</p> <p>(note that the corrupted drivers prevented the execution of the standard driver installer package downloaded from nVidia. I had to go to the device manager, open the properties for my display adapter, then click the "update driver" button. everything went smoothly, and automatically, from there)</p> <p>(note also that my system is running Windows 7 64-bit)</p>
