[dba-Tech] applications don't like being open

Could also be because IE eats memory like it's going out of fashion. It's
got a huge leak somewhere... I've had it using over 1.5gb of memory, and
that's just greedy!

Hi Susan:

The first problem is that IE and FF do not like each other. Word and IE have
never been happy roomies. If you have happened to bring Outlook to the party
it connects with Word and you have problems.

Many clients have this scenario and I have not been able to put my finger on
the actual cause but these 4 tend to be the main conspirators. ;-0

I'm finding that applications that I leave open and unused for several hours
get cranky -- most of the time I just have to close them down and reopen
because they freeze up or they react so slow that I can't work. 

This seems to happen mostly with Word, IE, and Firefox -- but then, those
are the apps I have open and leave open all day. It might happen with
others, but since I don't leave them open, I'm just not experiencing it. 

What's the problem? 

Susan H.
