Re: IE 6 uses 100% resources



Hi 92griffin :-)

Now...remember about keeping replies in one thread, so you should post this 
log back to the thread on the forum where you have been working so that the 
experts who have been helping you there can see this information and let you 
know for sure if you are in the clear. :-)

I'll follow up there as well.
