Mac Forum / Applications / Internet Explorer / October 2007

I have had this problem for months. My home-built, WXp Pro, 1G mem(2X512m)
ran without problem for year or 2 with IE6, and, I think, with IE7, until, it
seems, later patches started the "must close" problem, usually on mshtml.dll,
but other modules, too.
I applied many remedies suggested that proved ineffective, one being testing
of memory. (6 passes found nothing). Thinking memory might still be problem,
I ran across a memory vendors tech note that on my ASUS A7V600-X M.B., when
using DDR-400 it MUST be in slots 1 & 2.
Originally I had found only slots 1 & 3 would work, and did until a few
months ago.
Now, changing them to 1 & 3 appears to have eliminated "Encountered a
problem, must close" errors. I have had no crashes in the past several hours.
Why? of How? Windows XP or IE7 patches can have changed memory management!
