I am going to try this workaround. In MY Task Manager, my iexplre.exe is eating up 84,580 k and EXPLORER.EXE is eating another 15,260k. My pc, while older, should NOT be this darn slow. I cannot get ANYTHING done because I sit and wait, sit and wait.... I just found this site because I am trying to find a way to take care of this and low and behold, i am glad to see that it isnt just me but on the other hand, what if anything is being done about it? (Sorry, i glanced over previous posts, not read them all).
um.....HELP?

Anyway, I discovered a workaround (not a solution in my opinion) by un-enabling "enable third-party browser extensions" in -> 'Tools' --> 'Internet Options' --->'Advanced' tab ---->under 'Browsing' heading.
Now IE7 usually occupies only about 30KB.

Hello all, I found this forum after months of trying to fix this problem. I just can't understand it... it only seems like a few people are affected.
Here is my computer's important tech specs:
Dell XPS 420
4GB DDR RAM
Quad Core 2.8ghz processor.
You would really think that I'd run into memory issues, now would you? I have to restart my computer 3 times a day, because I gradually run out of memory. It affects my entire system. After running IE7 for several hours, I can't do as much as open a notepad .txt document! Some programs (Windows Mail, Adobe Fireworks, etc) give memory errors when you try to open them; Others just don't open at all, or only partially open (like a windows explorer window with empty contents). This is really driving me mad, as my whole livliehood depends on my computer work.
I only have one toolbar open with IE7, and that's google's toolbar that is "optimized" for IE7.
Anyone have any more ideas?
(and Microsoft, please get on this!)

I am sorry mate, I should have been more precise myself. I very well believe you, but unfortunately don't know how to help as you seem to have done quite more extensive tests than I needed. So my post applies to *my machine only*, which is a Vista based Pavillion bought at the beginning of the year, the only machine so far where I have been using Vista and IE7; I hade BTW an IE7 recently on an XP based PC (my last contract), but I couldn't even notice the problem (maybe because I had plenty of RAM and no RAM monitor on the desktop?), anyway I was just using it to check cross-compatibility, so I don't really know about that...
In any case, my post was mostly meant in support of your post about the pure *noise* coming from people who do not even care to discern a subject line, least to provide any useful technical information.
For your case, I'd straight try Microsoft support, but please then come here and report back, as they are good at all but communication.

To add to it, and for FWIW, I must say that since the very first publicly available Microsoft updates (around February, IIRC), this problem (memory leaks in IE7) seems indeed to have been resolved.

I fail to see anything in the search page you provided that addresses this issue. If you found something that specifically references this issue, please post a link to that specific page.
The issue being experienced isn't related to CPU usage, but memory usage.
When this problem occurs, CPU usage (at least on my systems) appears to be normal, however, memory usage quickly climbs to over 1GB for the IEXPLORE.EXE process as windows open and close. Even if I close all my IE windows except for one, the memory usage remains at over 1GB until I close the last IE Window or end the IEXPLORE.EXE process.

Confirmation for the same problem IE7 32 bit on x64 Server 2008.
One day run and iexplore.exe*32 is up to 500+. Closing the tabs frees about 1/3 of memory....
This is annoying. Firefox memory caching sucks, IE memory caching seems to be good, but leaky....
I guess O is next.

I too have this problem.... I am running a new Dell 1520, with a fresh install of Vista Basic (last format 3 days ago) and the only addon I use is the google tool bar. I surf with many tabs open (3-20 at a time) and always use the right click "open new tab" but this problem with IE7 is redicules.... After I get a few tabs open right click wont work anymore. Like the others here, when I look at the Task manager IE7 just eats up the memory......

Hello Microsoft... Are u guys working on the solution or what? I've been monitoring this forum and particularly on this issue and nothing has came out from u guys!
Plz Plz Plz do something about the ie7 memory leak issue!

This issue has been reported here for 7 months now. How do we get Microsoft to acknowledge this issue? Does Microsoft monitor this forum?
I've only had my Vista system a week and this problem started immediatly. I knew I should have stuck with XP.

Mine has the same problem. The memory usage usually starts at 58MB when I open IE 7. After a few minutes opening and closing tabs, it shoots up to over 400MB. After you have closed all the tabs, it never releases the memory until I close IE.
As someone who heavily uses the Internet at home and work, I have to close all windows and open again every few minutes. Whether it is IE 7 or Add-ons, I believe Microsoft should address the issue because it is frustrating.
I found this I think is related:

Me too!
No tabbed browsing enabled, never more than 10 IE7 windows open at the same time, no toolbars of any kind installed, no fancy add-ons apart from Windows Live and Skype maybe, still it happens consistently whichever the pages I browse, memory simply keeps going up until the whole system stops opening any new "window" including context menus, that is the typical behaviour of an out of memory system.
Killing IE from the task manager does the trick, but just because now I know about it and do it soon enough, otherwise I get a system so engulfed that nothing less than forcing a reboot works.
Btw, that is not the only weird thing happening. Sometimes (still don't get how to repro this) IE7 starts opening windows by itself at such a pace that it's impossible to close them even trying to keep ALT+F4 pressed. In that case a fast logout seems enough, if you manage to get to the logout dialog before the whole thing blows up I mean...

P.S. For some numbers, just tried a very simple test. While being on this page, I have opened 8 new windows via CTRL+N stopping navigation on each of them with ESC; then on each of them I have done the following: go to Google home; click the Language Tools link; from the Language Tools page click back the Google logo on the top left to go back to the home page; close the window. Repeat this for the 8 windows. When finished my iexplorer process memory has gone from 47MB to 57MB.

I've the same issue here, seen it on XP with IE6 and it's present on this quite fresh install of Vista 32 Ent (
Core2D@2.4/2GB)
You get to a certain number of tabs and windows, and things start to go awry. Right-clicking brings up a menu with no text in it. Bits of windows start to go missing. New apps won't open.
The key seems to be GDI Objects (and/or User Objects).
Take the example I have now (only writing this because I killed a few MSTSC sessions)
Iexplore.exe - Working Set 309MB, Peak Set 317MB, Private 284MB, Commit 324MB, Handles 2801, User Objects 3797, GDI Objects 3797
No, it isn't a third-party ActiveX addin causing the issues, there aren't any loaded (only the factory MS ones).
Firefox will cause the same issue if you push it hard enough.
Also I am using dual monitors on an Nvidia card - having two monitors is rumoured to exacerbate the problem.
I haven't yet found any workaround other than to close application windows.
Comments (1)Re: IE 7 memory leakThursday, December 13, 2007, 12:58:45 AM BomSquad
I've gone through and reset my IE settings to it's defaults from installation as well as only starting IE from the
"Internet Explorer (no add-ons)" icon in the system tools folder and I am still experiencing the same results. Each page I open, whether it be in a tab or a new window, eats up more and more memory. Closing these windows has no effect on reducing memory usage until I close the last IE window I have open. Sometimes I can't even do that and I have to use task manager to kill the IEXPLORE.EXE process to reclaim the memory and make my system usable again.
There are times when this problem will prevent me from using anything that starts the EXPLORER.EXE process as well (Windows Explore, Run, etc.). The only way to correct it is to kill the IEXPLORE.EXE process and everything returns to normal operation (until I start using IE extensively again)
This is rather annoying since when I am doing research, I tend to open pages in a new window/tab so that I don't lose my place in how I got to the information I am looking for.
I have had several occasions where IE starts acting up when it's using over 300MB, though the problem usually doesn't occur until IE is using 500-600MB. Sometimes I've seen IE using over 1.6GB!
Any thoughts would be appreciated....

I did that - while the situation improved to a certain extent, the issue is still there. I disabled all non-MS plug-ins, ActiveX and browser extensions, and even those non-essencial MS-ones. I started with IE with 30M RAM and 20M virtual and after opening up to 20 tabs at the same time and closing all but an empty one, IE ended up with 96M RAM and 87 virtual.

I have some additional information about this. They are certainly aware of it, BUT...
From what I can tell this problem is actually caused by add-ins loaded in IE. The way they implemented tabs in IE7 it creates a copy of every toolbar, etc for each tab, so if you've got a leaky toolbar installed it compounds the problem. The MSN Live toolbar seems to be the biggest offender. I think the google toolbar as well as the java plugin from SUN also cause the issue.
Go into the add-on manager in IE and disable everything non-MS and I bet it goes away. Unfortunately this still stinks.

My machine is stronger, I can still use IE 7 until the memory usage goes up to 400-500M. Which happens in one day, I usually open up several sites to work on.
It is understandable if someone says too many tab will use more memory, or bad DOM etc., but the quesiton is when I do the same thing on FF, it seldom use over 100M. So I started to use FF to work on my site.
But now I have problem, I can use FF, but my client may not. The complain come in from my clients that they start to have memory problem once they start use the site.
It is understandable to have some kind of bugs in IE 7, but not sure why they never confirm it and never give instruction how to avoid it, many supporters just keep saying you have add-on etc. But I tested with a brand new VISTA and IE7, it happens!

I have the same problem. Memory usage of IE7 on Vista increases continuously until it starts bombarding me with random error messages. Finally, the browser crashes. When you manage a Website using your browser, this behavior makes IE7 barely usable since the error messages start after half an hour (at about 200 MBytes)!
I hope MS is doing something about this!
Comments (1)Re: IE 7 memory leakSaturday, October 20, 2007, 1:21:31 AM BomSquad
I've been having this issue as well. This behavior isn't just related to tabs. It will also appear with the opening and closing of IE Windows. I've seen my IE memory usage climb from 120MB to 800MB from opening and closing IE Windows. As long as the iexplore.exe process is running, it will keep consuming more and more memory as you open and close both tabs and IE windows.
After a session of opening tabs/windows and then closing everything but a single IE window, the iexplore.exe process was still consuming over 800MB.
I wonder if this might be due to "temporary internet files" not only being written to disk, but also being kept in memory, on the off chance you might be opening related pages that use the same graphics or content.
It becomes really annoying at times. I've taken to keeping task manager open while using IE 7 so that I can monitor the iexplore.exe process. Once memory use gets over 400MB, I can often run into an issue where I can't open another tab/window and even if I close all my IE windows, the iexplore.exe process continues to run. I have to kill the process manually with "end task".
Once I do that I can re-open IE with no detrimental effects.

I've been having this issue as well since the ie7 beta came out. In fact this issue was the entire reason I upgraded to Vista. I thought it was something wrong with my old XP installation. Needless to say I wasn't too happy when I finally figured out what was causing it (and still had the same issue on vista). It was reported during the beta (by several people I imagine) and they decided not to fix it. I just decided that I've had enough and deleted the shortcuts to IE so I'll start using firefox instead.This does a lot more than just screw up my web browser. It leaks GDI handles so that the entire OS stops functioning. I cannot open any programs, I cannot right click on anything. This is on a system with 4 gigs of RAM. If I leave IE running for more than a couple days without restarting it I run smack into the problem every time. It has caused my outlook to randomly vanish from my screen and corrupt my PST file at least 4 times now. I have to close IE every time just to get photoshop to start up.I've seen my IE using as much as 12,000 handles at one time. It is really annoying to be in the middle of working on something with 4 or 5 tabs open and suddenly have the whole thing die on you.It is nice to know I'm not the only person with this problem. It is too bad they've ignored it thus far.

I am having the same problem since going to v7 on XP and Vista. I also have a problem where if I leave the browser open overnight, the memory slowly creeps up. The other thing that I notice is that over time, IE starts to use more and more CPU over time (Probably because of swapping). This trend is particulariy noticeable on my laptop as the fan turns on which is my trigger to restart IE. I find these behaviors are in both Vista and XP.I would also like to note that I never experienced this behaviour with IE 6 and noticed it almost immediatly when I installed IE 7 on XP. I have been watching over the last 4 months to see if anyone else is experiencing these problems. I am suprised that Microsoft has not done anything about this as I have had to go to Firefox on my less capable machines to rid myself of performance complaints from users.

I have noticed this ever since I started using IE7 in both XP and Vista on every PC I've ever used IE7 on). It seems to have something to do with the tabs. If you create a new tab iexplorer.exe allocates about 900kb, however when you close the tab, that memory is not freed. If you then create another tab and additional 900kb is added. Every time a tab is created and destroyed almost a MB is added to the program. I use extensive use of tabs. After a day of browsing I can have 150-500MB allocated to IE7, and I've seen as high as 1000MB!! (after leaving IE running for weeks on end while frequently using tabs) As soon as you close the browser this memory is freed.
Like I said, this is something I noticed since I first started using this (early Vista Release Candidates), and none of the updates have ever addressed this problem.
Ryan.

I notice that IE accumulates quite a lot of memory after I use it for some time and occasionally crashes without giving me the opportunity to send debug info to MS. I try to keep away from add-ons, e.g. I have just a couple from Adobe, one from Sun and the rest few are MS. My OS is XP Pro even though I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the issue.
Right now, after closing all extra tabs and leaving only this page in the browser, the task manager reports for iexplore.exe
Mem Usage: 126 MB
VM Size: 249 MB
Threads: 45
Handles: 2,304
GDI Objects: 1,956
I don’t know whether MS pays attention to this forum but this should be fixed.
I wonder how many of you can reproduce this effect - e.g. close all browsers, open IE and the Task Manager and write down the memory information. Then search Google for something (after that you can write down the memory info again) and start bringing the result links into new tabs. Once you have 20 - 30, go inside those tabs and try to open any links into new tabs and then close those new tabs to keep the count reasonable. Remember to visit the MS live search and the mail.live.com web sites (you should have a passport id). After playing like that fro 30 min and visiting let's say 300 pages, bring up the Task Manager again and see what happened to the memory. I bet you’ll see quite a difference.
