4514.0. "MEMORY LEAK on NT 4.0 WITH NETSCAPE 3.01" by GENIE::MUKHERJEE () Tue Mar 04 1997 04:43

Hi,

I have a NT 4.0 (ALPHA) system on which I have NEtscape Navigator 3.01 installed.  I have a problem that
I was hoping one of you might have a solution for.

Whenever I start up Netscape, I notice that within a few seconds the CPU utilization goes upto 100% and the
memory usage counter starts climbing, till I get a locked machine.

This problem started recently.  It was never spotted before.

I then installed the NT Service Pack 2 and also a hotfix (kernel).

This has unfortunately not done much.

Any tips would be sincerely appreciated,
Arjo

    Is your netscape perhaps set to load a homepage that's huge, for
    example a dictionary of English words or an encyclopedia ?  
    
    I suggest setting your netscape preferences to null or default or
    whatever it's called, and see if your problem goes away.
