Everything was fine in November, but I think one of the Win2K updates for December 2008
did me in.
Internet Explorer 6 is gulping memory like crazy and I don't know how to stop it. A
typical window now takes up 50M of memory and with multiple IE6 windows open it can suck
up all the memory of this still serviceable 500Meg SRAM laptop. This laptop is maxed
out yet has been more than adequate to perform it's specialized functions (we can't
upgrade it because it contains necessary yet discontinued authenticated software).
It seems that the more websites an IE windows browses, the more memory it takes up - and
it won't release it. A typical morning computer session (yes, the same routine I perform
every day) that used to leave me with 180M free memory now leaves me with a mere 30M
free memory (and all the swapfile slowdown that entails).
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!!!
