Hi John. IE version is 6.0.2900.2180
xpsp_sp2_gdr_05031-1519.
The only thing that I can think of that has been
installed are the XP updates. Photo Story worked great
for several weeks, then the problem started. Tried
Restoring to an earlier date, same problem,
removed/reinstalled, same problem. Like Photo Story and
know that something has changed on my computer, just
looking for ways to correct the problem.
==============================
Sorry, but I don't have a solution for you.
Maybe some maintenance would help but
I'm only guessing.
Running Disk Cleanup, Error Checking and
Defrag on a regular schedule is a good idea.

(check the two boxes..."Automatically fix file
system errors" and "Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors") the utility will run
the next time you restart your computer.
(run error checking repeatedly until it finds
no errors)

Another possible location for memory
hogging temp files is explained in the
following tutorial from Yves Alarie:
Files downloaded from the internet or e-mail
may be in a subfolder of your Temporary
Internet Files folder.
The folder name will start with OLK and
there will be a number after OLK. The easiest
way to find this folder is to search for OLK*
and once found open it and see if the files
are there.
Click on Start and Search and then:
All files and folders
More advanced options
Search system folders
Search hidden files and folders
Search subfolders
In the top textbox "All or part..."
type in exactly this OLK*
and click search
This search will take a while but should
return all folders starting with OLK.
Open the folders, select the files and delete.
They will go to your Recycle bin, delete them
from there also. Or, hold the Shift key down
when you delete them in order to prevent them
from going into your Recycle bin.
