This article was previously published under Q269488 SYMPTOMS
When you load a large XML file with Internet Explorer, your system performance may be slower or it may look as if your system has stopped responding.
You may also receive the following error message:
Your system is running low on virtual memory. Please close some
applications. You can then start the system option in the Control
Panel and choose the Virtual Memory button to create an additional
paging file or to increase the size of your current paging file.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the XML parser in Internet Explorer has not completely rendered the document. The XML parser continues to use resources until the document has finished loading or the browser is closed.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
