The main thing to remember here is that eValid is intended to be a QA/Testing tool and by design it is intolerant of all sorts of errors that an ordinary browser tolerates. The thinking is, it's a QA/Testing tool and you would want to know.
One of these areas is in the treatment of JavaScript errors. eValid, by design, does not "swallow" JavaScript errors but instead reports the during playback in the EventLog. You'll see a message that says "Script Error" in the EventLog and that means that an error in JavaScript was detected during playback.
The implication is, if you have a really bad passage of JavaScript, then eValid will tell you about it.
As a natural outcome of this, if the error is very severe there are cases when using eValid on the page will cause the eValid browser to fail at the Windows System level. That's what your seeing.
