Offhand I would guess the limit you hit was VM.  Iexplore is a pig, and 46
instances adds up to a lot of memory on a desktop pc.  768 - 128 for the OS
would leave 640MB for the IEs.  On a simple home page, XP-Pro IE seems to
take about 13-15MB.  15*46=690.

Subject: [windows2000] How many Internet Explorer windows?

Hi all,

I was troubleshooting a laptop with lockup problems, when I opened
up 46 IE instances. It would seem not more than 46 IEs can be
opened at one time. Is this hardcoded in some way??

I run win xp pro, the latest IE6sp1 and the laptop in question has
768M ram.

Also when 46 IEs are open I can't get the My computer properties to
open...

Same problem on my stationary admin-workstation, except it has 512M
ram and can only open 42 IEs.

Has anybody else seen this?

Not much of a problem really, thought it was a strange thing
though. 8-)


BW,

Sorin
