SUMMARY
At least two companies have reported that Web site memory leaks can be greatly reduced by installing Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) version 5.5 on systems with Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0.

MORE INFORMATION
In one case, users encountered a large number of scripting and run-time errors. These errors were found when users ran Performance Monitor and monitored the following Active Server Pages (ASP) statistics:


 * Errors during Script Runtime
 * Errors from ASP Preprocessor
 * Errors from Script Compilers

If you encounter continuous memory leaks on your Web site, you may want to upgrade to VBScript 5.5. In addition, you can investigate any run-time errors your ASP pages may encounter by monitoring the ASP statistics listed above with Performance Monitor.

You can download VBScript 5.5 from the following Microsoft Web site:
