Im seeing this problem now for a while.

Every time i use IE6 it runs pretty fine. After closing it down the window disaappears like it should, and i can refire it up alright. Point is when looking in task manager, all the previous instances that i ran keep active and suck out all the memory resources, creating other issues (dont want to have IE6 running 10+ times is it...).

Any suggestions appreciated (other then using Firefox...im working on that)
Thx guys - and keep up the great work!

I think this is probably something picked up on the net clogging the IE so here's a Spring cleanup of the comp which should debug this. If it doesn't we will still be here for you. Eitherway your comp with thank you for it.


Time to use your "runbox" to clean your computer,
(all these steps are done with the run box then)

Run Box
find and press the keys; the Windows flag botton and the R botton together(up pops the runbox)
(all these steps can be simply done by typing commands in the run box then)

Step1 deleting the prefetch files
type, or cut/paste this to runbox: prefetch
press: enter
(the prefetch folder opens)
press: Ctrl botton with the A botton(select all is the same)
press: shift + delete botton(deletes with prompt)

Step2 disc clean up
type or cut/paste this to runbox: cleanmgr.exe
choose drive(normally C: but comps differ)
press: enter(this process can take a long time)

Step3 disc defragmenter
type or cut/paste this to runbox: dfrg.msc
press enter(this process can take a long time)

Step4 checkdisk
type, or cut/paste this to runbox: chkdsk /f /r
press: enter( black window appears)
press: Y botton
press: enter
reboot the computer(this process is the longest, worse the screen may be lost before hours later the computer arrives at the welcome screen)

Step5 download: clean up.

run: cleanup

Step6 Start ups
type, or cut/paste this to runbox: msconfig
press: enter
mousemove to: start ups
keep; antivirus related and wanted entries
check: unknown entries
disable: ones you are sure are unneeded.

Good, although this has taken you a long time, I think your computer will thank you for it, and goblins love comps.
