Hi. I'm not sure what version of internet explorer I have, but it's the
latest official release, not the 7.x beta release. I also have Windows Xp
Home Edition, service pack 2.
I recently added 256 MB RAM to my already existing 256 MB RAM, and installed
a new anti spyware program.
It seems I don't "get" windows.
I'm not sure what it's called exactly in English, but using control-alt-del,
looking under processes I see, amongst other things: 1 process called
iexplore.exe, size 33 MB RAM, and one other process iexplore.exe, 143 MB RAM
!!! I just have 2 or three windows (if that's the right term) opened with
internet explorer. Using a utility that's part of windows, it says that
about 34 MB RAM is free.
Relevant: I am not running any applications, just the windows system,
security programs, and two or three pages opened with internet explorer.
I just don't get it: why is the internet explorer (or whatever it is)
consuming so much memory ?
I'd appreciate some enlightenment.
