IE7 beta 3, "Kill Memory"; any IEFIX.EXE

The new IE7 b3 swapped alot of memory (i.e. one IE open =79K, pop-up another
IE to two =99K,.....). Worse, if you close any or just one IE, it will hang
the desktop and a persisted "blank page"! Please stop "killing" more memory
to "blank" IE page.

The current IEFIX.EXE from URL: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/IEFIX.htm, is used
for the former IE 6 but not for IE7 b3. Any patch to fix current issues?

Will someone help?

The key word with regard to your problems is "beta". Beta means "too
full of bugs to be released".

Dear sir,

Everyday, there are "bugs" even if you use IE6 SP1 or SP2, and that's why
alot of updates came out. Just lookforward and solve the "bugs" just like
before there was no IE7.

I remembered that "grandme-tales" DON'T take any new thing and if you do,
there'll be more troubles. That I do not buy it. If IE7 beta1/2 and now 3
than it is getting better, why not go ahead and accept it. Afterall, we are
the people who give the "bugs" feedback to get UPDATES!!!

Now I need solution. Do NOT sitback and only "pointing" finger. have you
solved anything yet?

Thank you.

Let me explain it to you again. Beta software is software that is
still undergoing testing and development. It is not yet considered as
being suitable for final release as a production product because of
the number of bugs that remain to be solved.

When you install Beta software you accept the fact that there will be
deficiencies and problems with the product, and that in at least some
of the instances no solution will be available for that problem.

I have beta tested software many times, including every new version of
Windows (except Windows 2000) that has been released since 1997, and
am therefore quite familiar with the trials and tribulations that are
part of being a beta tester. However, I am not currently involved in
the beta testing of IE7 on Windows XP.

The problem you have encountered may well be one of those as yet
unresolved bugs in this beta version.

Good luck

Dear Ron,

I hope you are abit like Sharon. At least there was a solution which you
did not know at all but to ask me to look into "Event Viewer" which is the
latter is of the worst and unworkable choice.

In conclusion, after you admitted that you are not "not currently involved in
the beta testing of IE7 on Windows XP", then someone who is involved will be
better than you.

A chinese saying " There'll be mountain higher than other mountains.

So, I still hope to wait the answer sooner in future. Always never look back
but to progress forward and not backward. If not we are not in the IT World.

Thank you for your reply.
