Memory leak in 1.5, 1.6, ...

[Just A Girl]

The arrticle says,

WORKAROUND
If this GDI leak is seriously degrading performance, you can turn off the new user interface theming in Windows XP. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
3. On the Themes tab of the Display Properties dialog box, click Windows Classic in the Theme list.
4. Click Apply, and then click OK.



And that would explain why I never sufferd a memory leak...
becous that is the very 1st thing i do when i install xp on to a pc I own.

Well, this probably has absolutely nothing to do with any memory leaks in Rome, I'm not even sure whether they would use MFC instead of their own libraries. It probably would only really effect the more standard Windows GUI applications in more unusual circumstances.
