Robin,

    I found that IE4 and IE5 are tied to the OS and they cause the use of
system resources and memory leaks.  With IE4 but found that if I changed the
following setting that this helped in the leak and free system resources.
Under Internet Options, the Advance tab, and in the Browsing area, I checked
the box, "Browse in a new process".

Subject: [PCSOFT] Posting and friend's computer


Not sure if this is where I post or not -- this is a first time and while I
see lots of rules which I heartily agree , I don't see an actual manner of
posting . Will try this .

A while back a friend bought a new computer , a 300 or 450 , 4-5 gig , on
cable internet access and 128 megs RAM . He had always been on Netscape and
when he was upgrading I suggested going to IE5 , so we could have common
browsers . He agreed and when I was there ( a four hour drive away ) I
downloaded it for him . Soon after he started having problems with what can
only be called a resource leak . After the computer has been on for a day or
so the resources go from 85% to about 5 % and it tells him to close
programmes , none of which are open ( this happens whether he has been using
the computer or not ) . I thought it might be faulty RAM , but his suppliers
say they think it's software , probably IE5 . Any ideas ?
