i run a community website where users can upload video. but I have this one
video that keeps crapping out. its 262 megs and the site dies instantly and I
get the "Internet explored cannot display this web page"

I know its not timing out cause when I say instantly, i mean instantly...as
soon as I click upload.;

I changed my settings in IE to show me the error but still only getting
friendly message

If you "run" this web site, you should have access to server/CF logs.
What do they say?
Change your settings in CF admin to show debug info and then ask a
question with a little more details about the error...

What version of ColdFusion?

Prior to 8, file uploading was, shall we say, "Memory intensive". Adobe fixed
that in CF 8

If you can't upgrade to 8, I'd suggest an alternative upload solution, such as
a java servlet (JavaZoom, a commercial vendor) has some solutions.
