That would be my first bet but another accomplice could be NVIDIA drivers. It appears there are some documented video driver errors (bleeding) for the product and most people I know seem to use these drivers. If you add that to IE suspected bleeding and you have a challenge.

It's got a huge leak somewhere... I've had it using over 1.5gb of memory, and that's just greedy!

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 HTH Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Susan Harkins Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 7:29 PM To: DBA Tech List Subject: [dba-Tech] applications don't like being open 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?
