STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

This update fixes the problem in Internet Explorer where unexpected dialog boxes may download. The other problems can also be avoided. To avoid problems, a device designer can make the following changes. The following changes make sure that there is more reliable low-memory behavior:
  • Make sure that all critical modules are marked as "non-pageable" by using the "M" flag in the .bib files. This is especially critical for any resources and for any code that is used by the low-memory handlers and by the file system drivers. We also recommend that you do this in the Netui.dll file for network UI resources.
  • Make sure that you modify the low-memory handler so that it is more aggressive in converting storage memory to program memory. See the following:
