after running the IDE and using the PPC emulator for
awhile (several hours-emulator off and on, mostly
editing within the IDE)?

It's like I've been time-transported back to the bad ol'
486 days-menus take five seconds to pop up, JPG's
open block by block in my image editor, etc.

Logoff/logon does not clear condition, no other processes
other than normal in Task Manager after exiting the IDE.
Memory usage normal, no excessive paging. %CPU OK.

Only way to get my system back is restart (which takes
almost FIVE MINUTES under these conditions).

W2K SP4, dual P3-1G, 1024M mem., GeForce2, etc.

Seems repeatable, if I run .NET 2k3 Pro, and use the emulator,
it will happen-
 
Too much memory?
Seriously, I'm running emulator (or sometimes emulators) and VS.NET on w2k3
server for days with no side effects
 
There's a theory that there might be a memory leak in the emulator driver,
which seems to happen to some emulator users, and not to most users. We
have a hard-core programmer going through the emulator code with a fine
tooth comb trying to find any memory problems, security holes, and fixing
them for the next version of Visual Studio. Considering we've only heard
three or four user stories of memory problems, we're unlikely to release a
patch for VS 2003. If I hear an outcry on the newsgroup or from Product
Support Services, then I'll look into releasing a patch.

Aha, finally a reply to this-

thanks.

For now, I've removed .NET from my workstation, the
behavior was intolerable.

By removing IE6 first, trying to run .NET, and getting bitched
at that .NET needs IE6 to run, I learned that IE6 is a requirement...

I actually now feel, after some experimentation,
that the problem is IE6, not .NET.

But, since .NET won't run without it, and IE6SP1 is full
of bugs and runs very poorly compared to 5.5 SP2,
I just won't be using .NET, I guess.

Does anybody have a formula to get .NET ver anything
that can run VB for PPC up and running with IE 5.5?

That's all I really need it for.
