Ah, that is most interesting indeed... Internet Explorer is one of a number of applications that uses temporary RAM to go beyond the constraints of the fixed amount allocated to it by the OS (the amount you see and can set in the Finder). I assume this RAM is being allocated from the System Heap, which is presumably why you are having problems there. IE is trying, and failing, it seems, to get the OS to store data away for it. It might help to allocate more RAM to IE if you wish to continue using it - mine has a minimum size of 4096, but a preferred size of 22462. Goodness knows how it got to be that big, but it works like that anyhow. I'm curious - what version of Mac OS do you have? With 68 Mb free above the System Heap, it's hardly as though some app is stopping the heap area from growing, so maybe it's a bug in Mac OS that might have been fixed in a later version? - Daniel. -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> Send list messages to: <mailto:starmax@;mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:starmax-off@;mail.maclaunch.com> For digest mode, email: <mailto:starmax-digest@;mail.maclaunch.com> Subscription questions: <mailto:listmom@;lowendmac.com> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> --------------------------------------------------------------- >The Think Different Store http://www.ThinkDifferentStore.com ---------------------------------------------------------------
