Hi Alana, A rhetorical question would be, "what would happen if we have no virtual memory at all?" For computers, that would be scary - less space to put data, RAM scarcity, etc. In connection to this, a short answer for your question would be, "there is no way to free up virtual memory when an application is using it." The reason for drops in virtual memory when using KeyWeb is that, for IE, it needs to display not only web text, but it needs to render text via HTML markups (which, together with the text itself, takes up to 16 MB of virtual memory). I don't know whether I've uploaded this to my PBWiki yet - if I haven't I'll promise to write about this by end of the year. Alex, Ray, any other fellow programmers (or would-be programmers), do you have anything to add to this? Thanks. Cheers, Joseph P.S. Virtual memory is somewhat tricky to explain...

If I log on to a web page using wireless or ethernet the BN says I have 23%. How do I free all of the virtual memory? This occurs even after a 4-5-6 reset. Thanks.
