Dumping physical memory to disk: xx

I had several IE windows open at the time, one downloading a Windows MP9
upgrade, one loading some images and another one surfing the net. (I am using
a dial-up connection.)

I had this problem a while back and under Tools-Internet Options-Settings I
increased the amount of disk space to use for Temporary Internet File Folders
and the problem seemed to go away until recently.

I did find a resolution that said to resolve the problem, the application
(IE?) has to be modified to close the registry key when it is done with them.
If so, how do I do this? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer!

ps - I am running Win2K Pro. Is that the only O/S that this happens with?

Didn't it say in the article which key to modify? Anyhow, if you think
you can open multiple IE windows, download (and presumably install) a
Media Player upgrade and surf the net at the same time I would suggest
that you are dreaming in technicolor. I don't remember the exact number
but each open instance of IE consumes 25 or 50 megs of RAM, opening too
many IE's will consume all the abailable RAM. Furthermore Media Player
can be an EXTREMELY buggy thing to upgrade, it is a core component and
upgrades gone wrong can completely screw up your system or be very
difficult to fix to say the least. I would not recommend the kind of
practice that you describe when upgrading core Windows components or
applying hotfixes, or any software for that matter.

The article did not get specific enough to be of any use to me,
unfortunately. I do appreciate your input, though, as I did not know that.
As I think back, I believe that each time I have gotten a blue screen crash,
it has probably been when I had multiple IE windows open. In light of your
comments, this makes much more sense to me now, and I will modify my habits
to see if I can avoid this in the future. Thanks again!
