fp2000 hangs on to memory after closing

[Michael]

Hi,

i only noticed yesterday that after I close FP 2000 and then check in
task manager (W2k) that the program is stll hanging onto a large chunk
of memory.

I would appreciate knowing if there is any fix for this ?

other than telling task manager to "end the process" )

many thanks,

Michael

Usually caused by a bad addin
Try closing it in task manager and disabling all addins

Have you tried the usual repairs in the sequence below:
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
- in FP 2003 you need to log on as an admin (other than the NORMAL user name) and look in the super hidden folder
C:\Documents and Settings\NORMALUSERNAME\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
3) In Windows Explorer Find and delete the file hidden file CMDUI.PRF
Usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\State
4) Run a Repair on IE
(see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=318378 )
5) Install all Service Packs for your OS, IE, MS Office and your Video card
(Windows Update and Office Update sites, plus your video card supplier site)
6) Open FP and Disable or Uninstall any FP Addins,
7) Open your FP Web/Site and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks

I knew that you hadn't forgotten me

Well I haven't done about half the things on the list but I will now.

thanks
