This is a Javascript error, of the kind that should never happen unless the browser is broken. Can you try using a different browser? Chrome and Safari should work best, Firefox 10 (but not 7, 8 or 9, these were very broken) should also work. People told me that IE9 also works for them, I haven't tried it myself yet.

With Firefox 10 it worked. Had the problem with IE9...

OK, I found out what's going on. Unlike every other browser, Internet Explorer caches the results of the AJAX calls. This causes the JavaScript to enter an infinite loop. If you leave it alone for a few hours, Internet Explorer ultimately crashes. I found a workaround and I'll be including it in the stable version, scheduled for tomorrow.

Yes it does! But you have to clear your cache!!! I've tested it with IE9 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

The problem wasnΒ΄t the cache but the "compatibility mode". It works with deaktivated mode !
Thanks

Ah, you had IE9's compatibility mode ("broken page" icon) turned on? Yes, that would pretty much kill the JavaScript. FYI, when you enable compatibility mode in IE9, it uses IE7's JavaScript and page rendering engines. These are very buggy and don't work very well with Admin Tools.
