Internet Explorer Hang Ups

Post #69,562 by smabernathy 12/18/02 2:17:12 AM Reply	Internet Explorer Hang Ups I am running WinXP Home Edition and I am having trouble with my IE. The problem is that when i close the browser window the process keeps running with out the window being open and it just consumes memory without serving a purpose. As i open and close my browser windows (i do this frequently) it just keeps piling up processes untill I sense a problem and manualy halt the processes in the process manager. Is there any way fix this or am i doomed to keep having to give the three-finger salute all day long? Hope someone can help. Thanks, Sean

Go to Tools->Folder Options Click the View tab Scroll down until you can see Launch folder windows in a separate process Is this checked? Further questions: Have you installed Windows XP Service Pack 1? Sun Java? What software is on the machine? Do you have current, working antivirus protection? I don't do very much with XP Home - XP Pro is my bag if I can't get Windows 2000.
