Members Madeline Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 For some reason my computer slows to a crawl after I log into OB. It's fine for a few seconds, but after that I can barely move my cursor. All other websites are fine. When I check the taskmanager...it shows that OB is using about 150,000 k memory usage. Does anyone know what's going on? Love, Madeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Pastor Matt Posted November 23, 2009 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2009 What page are you on when this is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Madeline Posted November 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ok, I pinpointed the prOBlem. The mem usage starts out low (e.g., "4,000 K"), and begins to increase with each link clicked on. For example: 1). Log in (4,000 K) 2). Click on Computer Room (4,500 K) 3). Click on read last post (6,000 K) 4). Click on Post Reply (10,000 K) 5). OB main index (12,000 K) And so on... It's 82,000 K mem usage now and jumped to 87,000 K mem usage after I previewed the post.

Administrators Pastor Matt Posted November 23, 2009 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2009 What browser? I want to try and reproduce it on my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Madeline Posted November 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Wow, I didn't realize I have I.E 6.0.2600.0000. I was always worried about downloading new versions of I.E. because the last time I tried my computer mysteriously crashed, so I kept my old I.E. 6.

Members kevinmiller Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Have any other browsers you can try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Madeline Posted November 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think I may still have the Opera browser, although I've encountered prOBlems with that in the past too. I suppose I might as well update my I.E. and cross my fingers, or keep logging in and out of OB to reset the memor usage K. I think I'll try the former. lol!

Members kevinmiller Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Madeline Posted November 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I went to the I.E 8 website to do the update only to encounter another prOBlem. When I tried to run the program I received this message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MatthewDiscipleOfGod Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 You should download Firefox. Also, do you have an good and up to date Anti-virus AND Anti-spyware software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Madeline Posted November 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I have Zone Alarm Security Suite, which is an Anti-Virus and Anti-spyware software. I don't like the layout in Firefox, but I guess I don't have much of a choice for the time being. Love, Madeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Anon Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 I really like Google Chrome...although I guess its supposedly still not as good as Firefox but I like the layout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it better (minus extensions) than FF, It is not as memory hungry and it is faster.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anime4christ Posted November 23, 2009 Members Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ooh, browsers! I can talk about those all day long. LOL. But others have already suggested a few good ones, so I won't. That error message looks like you might have some system files corrupt on the system or something like that though. What version of Windows are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
