IE use big memory in windowsxp+sp2

[Bright]

Hi All,

When I browse the web sites using IE6.02, open the links in new windows and
then close these new windows, after that I find I can't open any new
windows, including other applications.

I can't get any event log about this, and I see the iexplore.exe use
167,488K memory, sometimes it uses 289,921K memory.

I need to end iexplore process, otherwise I can't open any new applications.

By the way, I already updated my machine with the latest patches.

Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Bright.

What is the virus/malware status of the computer? If you think it is
clean, what programs (and versions) did you use to determine this? Be
sure your computer is clean:
