I have Win 2K Prof Sp4 with all the latest patches. I have IE6sp1 with all the latest patches.
Connection speed T1. I have all the latest XmlCore v3.0, v4.0 and v6.0 install/patches that
IE may need.
Problem:
When I view about 2-4 web pages, the browser will just stop updating from page 4 onward.
The task manager says "No Response" in the applications window or the IE browser entry for this screen
just disappears from the task manager application window list. If I wait about 3-5 minutes, the
browser will start responding again. Then after about 2-4 web pages, the problem continues again.
Variation #1
If a web page pops a web page window, these popped windows will never finish updating and
will be blank until it times out saying it can't display the page. When windows are popped like this
it speeds up the original window to hang. It seems after about 2-4 window pops, everything
shows up as "no response" or disappears from the task manager application list.
Variation #2
During the time the above hang variations are occuring, I can click on the IE shortcut on the
desktop to start another browser session, and have no problems viewing web pages while the
first session is hanging. Then after about 2-4 web page views on the 2nd browser session, it gets
the same problem. Thus, I click on another browser session to repeat the above scenario.
Opinion:
It seems that the browser/operating system is having memory leak problems somewhere
or that it is performing memory garbage collection. I'm not sure.
Question:
Anyone see this on their system? Do you have a solution? Is there some exe, dll, etc file
I'm missing or patch that will clean this up? It sure is slowing down any productivity on
this PC.
