Sonu Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 If I let my computer idle for a couple of hours (over night, or sometimes for a couple of minutes), nothing happens when I open I.E. -- literally. Usually the page is just white, or sometimes it says, "Finding site: sympatico.msn.ca", or "Cannot Find Server". This has never happened to me before. This just started to happen this past week. It's very annoying. I've tried "ipconfig /renew", and unplugging myself from the internet and reconnecting, but still nothing. Restarting my computer works, and so does logging off/on. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 May be a memory leak? Open taskmanager every so often and check if any process is increasing memory usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonu Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Hmmm...I'll keep an eye on that. But for now it's high right now (PF Usuage: 380mb) since I have like I.E. open with PowerPoint open inside of that (online notes). Anyways...I've also used System Restore to restore my computer back to the first week of Januaray. Let's see if that works. And I'll still see if a program uses a lot of memory. *shrugs* I.E.: 33 K explorer.exe: 22 K vsmon.exe: 18 K I.E.: 16 K Seems OK for now. We'll see... Thanks.

Sonu Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 So, I have Restored my computer to the first week of January (every thing was fine then), and I have reinstalled Zone Alarm (thought maybe it was the problem), but still nothing. Also, for the whole memory leak thing, before I left for school this morning I restarted my computer, and just left my computer running with only Zone Alarm and AVG Anti-Virus running. But still when I came home, nothing popped up in I.E. So, I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know what I could do? Again, restarting my computer every time to use the internet is annoying. Thanks.
