if this is easily reproducable, especially if it's running on a VM (which makes it easy to share the repro case) it might be something you need to take up with MS..
You might want to do some simple resource monitoring, make sure it's not a memory leak or something.. Like run permon on another system, or taskman on the local box and monitor free memory.. We have had a number of folks complaining that in prolonged tests IE can end up using a lot of memory.. (weither that's an actual IE issue, or a java memory leak I don't know, and it can be tricky to tell the two apart) On Apr 9, 7:27 am, andrew.d...@lthree.com wrote: > Wondering if anyone ran into this and solved it.
