IE7 and Vista Memory Leaks - HELP!

I tried Dell support first... which told me the only way to resolve the issue
was a clean install (which I have tried, but it just comes back). Any help???


I am having problems with Vista Home Prem x86. This problem happens when IE
7 reaches a PWS Memory leval of at least 130,000K. What happens is that I
cannot open any more IE 7 tabs, close tabs or windows (sometimes), no right
click in IE or in Windows Explorer, and I cannot start or close most
applications. I can sometimes close IE to resolve the problem, but most of
the time, when I close it; it does not remove the application from the
process list (per task manager).
CPU Usage averages around 5%-10%, with a physical memory usage of ~50%. The
only other applications that are running are system services that reside on
the task bar. This problem happens without any other programs running, or
with programs running.

I have tried a clean install of Vista, ran all Windows and software updates,
and this computer is free of all malware and virus, ran the Dell Diags,
Windows Diags, and everything else.

Computer Stats:
Dell DXP061 (XPS 410)
Intel Core 2 - 6700 @ 266GHz
3070MB.
Windows Vista Home Prem x86
300+GB HDD.

Any ideas???
