From: WMB on 27 Feb 2010 21:19 Windows XP(Home) SP3, OE6, IE8; Plenty of RAM & HHD space. Continuous checks for Virus/Malware 1.4Ghz, VIA Technologies, Inc. 8 kilobyte primary memory cache, 256 kilobyte secondary memory cache, P4X266-8233, Enclosure Type: Desktop V2 Premier, Windows XP (Home) SP3, 2 Calvary External USB 400/500 GB Hard Drives (NTFS), 1.5 GB Ram, Upgraded PSU, Belarc Advisor, Multimedia - lists, MPU-401 Compatible MIDI Device - Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller - Standard Game Port.

I read the below comment by poster VanguardLH in internetexplorer.general newsgroup. "I've had 72 tabs open but ran out of memory (they weren't text-only pages) before IE starting getting overly slow probably due to excessive paging. However, you can hit web pages that deliberately attempt to consume your CPU and bandwidth by doing refreshes at very short intervals or by constantly downloading streams of new content (even if YOU don't see a change in the page because the new content looks just like the old content). Even with just a couple tabs open, having visited one of these rude busy-making pages can make opening other tabs very slow or using the other tabs for already opened pages." Concerning - "by doing refreshes at very short intervals" Question: I use Outlook Express 6, to read newsgroups, can the message refresh rate be extended or shortened as desired, if so how? Thank you

What is happening is normal behavior for OE. The easiest work-around is to work offline when reading a long post. Just add the Offline button to the OE Toolbar. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP [Mail] Imperial Beach, CA

I was wondering if the interval of >> the refresh rate was adjustable? You configured the news account to be included in the polling interval that you also configured in OE. You could disable that news account from being included in the configured polling interval but then you will have to do the refreshes yourself. OE has a long-time behavior of jumping back to the top when polling for new messages when you have scrolled down in a post. You're stuck with that behavior in OE. It's one of the reasons why I trialed other newsreaders. |
