Problems with Internet Explorer

[ahauck_79]

Hello,
When I open IE my virtual memory sinks to nothing and I get a freeze up before the program has a chance to fully open. The memory is so low that I can't even ctrl alt delete to bring up the task manager. I just have to do a hard restart! I had IE 6 and then also tried IE 7 Beta. The same problem exists for both.

XP Home

Thanks for any help!

What do you mean by virtual memory sinks to nothing? Can you list your hardware spec including cpu,ram, mb, harddrive..etc.

Try firefox. Firefox is so much better.

I think firefox uses more memory so that may not be the solution, on the machine i'm using here firefox is a 68mb process and iexplorer is 18mb.

by default XP manages your virtual memory and it does a pretty good job of it, you shouldn't have a problem with running out of virtual memory unless you've manualy set the page file too small or you've run out of Hdd space.
