Internet Explorer 5.1.7 Freezing / crashing/ out of memory

I have regular crashes, randomly from 5 to 120 mins when on the internet.
I have a G3 blue and white with 350mhz processor running 9.2.2 with 512Mb ram. Internet Explorer 5.1.7.
I have always had problems with crashing on this machine even from new when it originally ran an earlier Os9 and earlier Internet Explorer software on dial up 56k.I am now on Broadband.
I cannot explain why i get these crashes so frequently. I have tried giving internet explorer program 50Mb of ram.I have adjusted cache size ranging from zero (broadband) up to 50Mb.I have played around with virtual memory on/off, but still i have crashes. I have all the relevant software updates for my machine also.
If it does not freeze completely then it exits from Explorer and i get Type 2 or Type 3 errors and have to restart the machine instead.
Could it be that i have problems with my Ram installed in my machine ?
I have tried running my machine with only Mac Os base extensions installed but this also crashes regularly.
I have also wiped my hard drive and done fresh installations but i still have problems.
Please Help ! before i pull out or my hair or throw my machine out the window and buy a Windows PC ( Insanity setting in ).

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This may be of some help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106874
Have you tried another browser?
I found IE 5.1.7 better than earlier versions but still prone to crash so changed to WaMCom from http://wamcom.org/ and got much better results (it is based on Mozilla 1.3.1).
Some prefer iCab 3.0 from http://www.icab.de/
Every Mac browser is listed here: http://darrel.knutson.com/mac/www/browsers.html

Multiple instances of Internet Explorer in task manager using 100,000 KB+ memory

Hi! I recently got a virus on my computer that causes multiple instances of explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe to appear in my processes tab of task manager. Over the course of about a minute, the memory usage of each begins to climb rapidly until all of my
memory is being used by these. These do not appear in my applications, nor do they actually open up an internet explorer window. When I end task on them, another one appears about a minute later to take its place and do the same thing again. Additionally,
when I click shut down to turn my computer off, various advertisements flash on my screen for a few seconds before the computer begins to shut down. When the computer is started up, a window appears for a split second that contains only blackness. I have never
seen this window appear before the virus was obtained. When I end task on all my explorer.exe and iexplorer.exe applications at the same time, my desktop vanishes, but it also stops those applications from reappearing. This virus has caused my computer
to run unbearably slow. I have tried Spybot S&D, Exterminateit, AVG, Roadkill, and other methods and nothing seems to detect this or cure it. I am not that good with computers, but I am dying for help on the matter! If you can assist, please let me know
what I can do with detailed instructions for my sake! Thank you!!!!!!

See and follow Andy's excellent advices.
In addition...
See: "How to
Reset Internet Explorer settings".
If the issue persists...
1. Please download and run the
Microsoft Safety Scanner tool (freeware).
2. Reboot your PC.
3. Please download and update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free
4. Reboot Windows in
Safe Mode and run a Full Scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
5. Download and Run AdwCleaner (Freeware)
6. Reboot and Test.
Best of Luck,

Hi
Can you share one such document with me? Is there something common in the way these documents were created? For example if all of them were created through Scanning or web capture...

Sequence-RenderOnly-Mixdown crashes - Out Of Memory

Out of Memory trying to use FCE Sequence->RenderOnly->Mixdown.
The video that crashes is 19:30 min in length (and others as well). Plenty of memory (actual=3GB: recognized as 2GB: SysSettings->Memory&Cache shows 1649Mb = 90%); Plenty of disk set as FCE Scratch - external FW400 drive with 228Gb available.
Deleted the Scratch Audio cache folders before trying the mixdown.
Suggestions?

Thanks for your suggestions.
I am running FCE 3.0.1 and QT 7.1.2.
Yesterday I tried importing the raw files in two ways: (1)through MackTheRipper and (2)through the linux box/copying across the net. DropDV seems to be the only way to convert the raw files to .dv, so I used it. At that point QT can play the individual .dv files with no problem. FCE can open both sets of .dv files, and the waveform shows sound is present (which dragging the pointer along the timeline confirms.) FCE can play the individual .dv files through the Viewer with no problem.
I added everything to the Timeline and started an audio mixdown. When FCE gave the OutOfMemory error, I ran vmmap through Terminal, and the process showed 3Gb from malloc (YIKES!), so I guess that it really is Out Of Memory!
At your suggestion, I downloaded a copy of Cocktail and restarted. FCE again crashes with the same OOM error after ten minutes or so.
This whole problem started because of audio dropouts in completed QT files. Unfortunately, I have pitched the .dv file sets for the projects that have completed successfully without the Mixdown - it would be informative to know whether Mixdown would work on them.
I guess the next step seems to be to deepsix FCE and reinstall. (This is beginning to remind me of microsoft products...)

Manager keeps crashing - out of memory

I'm getting tired of restarting oc4j due to it running out of memory. It seems I can work in the manager for a day or two and it crashes. I've increased the MaxPermSize from 512 to 1024, but that still isn't working. I'm sure I'm not the only one running into this since it's happening on more than one OVM environment. What are the typical configuration changes made to the manager either using the manager template or manager installer?

Very interesting Avi. How much of the 12 GB of RAM are actually used? I'm using 2 since that's what the documentation called out. I suspect if I increase the RAM it would work better, which means to me the minimum requirements need to be increased.No idea, I'm afraid. We've never had a cause to look at the memory usage of that server, as we've never had any issues with it. I'm at home at the moment (ah, timezones) and it's a long weekend, so I'll only be back onsite next Tuesday.

InDesign CS 6 keeps crashing "out of memory" ???

Hi
I am having trouble with InDesign CS 6.
It does not respond. I can open a document, but as soon as I select a tool it starts hanging. I then have to use Windows task manager to end CS 6.
After the 5th time of ending CS 6 and receiving the message "Adobe InDesign is out of memory " I updated InDesign and recieved the following error code:
Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 Update
Update is not applicable. Error Code: U44M1P28.
InDesign is still hanging and I still have to use Windows task manager to quit the program.
Would it help if I reinstall InDesign?
This has never happend to me before.
Please help me with this, I have extreme amounts of work that needs to be completed this weekend as I am on a tight deadline for Monday morning
(OS: Windows 8)

OS? Are you patched to 8.0.2? Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences

Firefox crashed, can't open it at all, having to go thru internet explorer to use computer. Crashed when two firefox updates were done. Refreshing and rebooting didn't work. How do I fix this so my computer runs again with firefox?

We heard firefox had crashed, friend 4 hours away has same problem. She got hers fixed but even tho I can get a message that firefox is running , its not functioning so I can use it. Had two updates to do, one automatically, one I started at firefox request. Since then, we can't get on the internet or any programs. Unless you can tell me what's wrong, I'll have to have a computer company come in to fix problem.

It is always a good idea to back up your bookmarks, if you are able to do that now it may help, and if you are considering using them in an alternative browser it may be a good idea to back them up as HTML as well as the default .json files.
* see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
Have you read the articles shown in my first message above with the blue clickable links. One of the first things to try is using Firefox in firefox [[safe mode]] which should be available from your program list, BUT when trying that on the first dialogue do not make changes just click on continue.
*Does that work ?
* did you see the list of options and click on the continue button ?
* are you seeing any error messages ?

Adobe Reader 9.1 and Internet Explorer 8.0 pdf link crash

I have three PC's running XP Pro SP3, with Adobe Reader 9.1.
On one of these systems, pdf files can be loaded, but when I click on pdf links in web pages, the browser crashes.
If someone could please help me by defining what further information might be helpful in troubleshooting this, I'd be most appreciative. A definite clue is probably provided by this comment in application event viewer:
Faulting application iexplore.exe version 8.0.6001.18702 faulting module acrord32.dll, version 9.1.0.163, fault address 0x000d51b6
Thanks so much for any help!

I actually backed out Adobe 9 and installed Adobe 8 and that resolved my issue of IE crashing when trying to open an Adobe file.
I tried everything before doing this. From backing out IE 8 to 7 and just reinstalling Adobe 9 and continued to have the same problem.

Internet Explorer (11.0.9600.17207) crashes on 2nd lookup selection in JS Grid page - Project Server 2010 (SP1)

Hi all,
we are facing a scenario that crashes IE (11.0.9600.17207). When a user with IE 11 with that version opens a grid page (project schedule for example) and updates a lookup field, IE will crash when the user expands the lookup field widget for the 2nd time.
This scenario is not recreated on previous IE 11 versions.
We traced the error to the CustomFieldWidget.js file line 149 (form.appendchild...):
function AddFormInputField(form, name, value)
   {ULSQRm:;
    var el=document.createElement('input');
    el.type='hidden';
    el.name=el.id=name;
    el.value=value;
    form.appendChild(el);
Can someone from Microsoft verify if there is alreaedy an open issue about it?
Thanks,
Roy

Thanks everyone,
The issue was resolved when my IE updated recently (it's set to update automatically).
the update IE version is 11.0.9600.17239 and the issue can no longer be replicated.
I don't know if the bug is resolved (e.g. if an error is not thrown in that scenario) but at least the client handles it well and doesn't crash.
Kind regards,

Internet Explorer Mac 5.2.3 crashes in Leopard

I'm aware that this browser is unsupported and completely dead for various reasons. It did run on Tiger, but not on Leopard anymore here.
1) Can anyone please confirm that IE Mac 5.2.3 crashes (PPC OS X dmg from browsers.evolt.org)
2) I don't expect this to run on an Intel Mac at all. Did it run on an Intel Mac on Tiger?
Thanks.

Hi Gordon,
It runs fine in 10.4.11, and even Leopard, here's a link to download it...

Disappointed!! I've been using Firefox since the start. Had a few problems but nothing insurmountable until now!! I'm using Internet Explorer now as FF constantly crashes and won't open anything but my home page. Someone help.

FF goes to my homepage and then stays there. Will not open bookmarks or any other sites at all.
When I close FF it closes the window but remains active. Can't even close the process in task manager and have to reboot PC.
This seems to have happened when FF upgraded to 6.0. since then I have uninstalled 6.0 and reverted to 4.0 in the hope that this will solve the problem but to no avail.
I'm now at the end of my tether and I'm no longer using FF. Don't want to use IE but I have no choice until this is resolved or decide which other browser will take FF's place. Anyone help?

JEditorPane crashing( Out of Memory )

I'm trying to display an html document that is about 3MB, everytime I try it crashes, if I cut the size down to about 400KB it loads fine.
Is there some kind of limit to the size of a file the editorpane can handle?
         // load the class the creates the file
         LeadGenerator lg = new LeadGenerator();
        // get the editorPane from the report creator class.
     JScrollPane scrollPane = lg.getReport();
     scrollPane.setBounds(0, 0, dim.width,dim.height);
     jDesktopPane.add(scrollPane);
// code snippet from the report creator class
public void LeadGenerator{
// user picks a file name "f"
for( loop till the input file is done ){
     out.write("</BODY>"+"\r\n");
     out.write("</HTML>"+"\r\n");
     out.flush();
     out.close();
// method that returns the report in a scroll pane.
public JScrollPane getReport(){
          JScrollPane scrollPane = null;
          JEditorPane htmlWindow = new JEditorPane();
          htmlWindow.setEditable(false);
          try{
               java.net.URL reportPage = new java.net.URL("File:///"+f.toString());
               System.out.println(reportPage);
               if (reportPage != null) {
                    try {
                         htmlWindow.setPage(reportPage);
                    } catch (java.io.IOException e) {
                         javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,
                                   e.getLocalizedMessage());
                         e.printStackTrace();
               } else {
                    javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "File not found ");
               scrollPane = new JScrollPane(htmlWindow);
               scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
               scrollPane.setViewportView(htmlWindow);
               scrollPane.setVisible(true);
          }catch(MalformedURLException mfe){}
          return scrollPane;
     }

Is there some kind of limit to the size of a file the
editorpane can handle?I don't think so.

Pcdrcui.exe crashes out of memory

I've expanded the machine to 12 GB of memory.
PCDRCUI.EXE consumes all available memory and then crashes. Off hand I do not think this is proper behavior.
4319-2ru machine Win 7. Patched up to date.

Hi, Wizardess
I did some research and found this thread from Microsoft that may help. This .exe is a part of PC Doctor, which has caused issues like this on other user's machines. The Microsoft thread pretty much recommends uninstalling the program, which, if you do not use it, might not be a bad idea, in my opinion. There are also some other suggestions available on the thread if you would like to try those.
Hope it helps,
Adam
