Active Server Pages: Progressive Memory Leak
This article was previously published under Q165335
We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
If you are running Active Server Pages version 1.0b on Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) version 3.0, and you are storing objects in the Application scope, you may experience performance problems and increased memory usage by IIS.
These performance problems are caused by a memory leak in the Asp.dll file when you give objects an application scope. You can confirm this resource leak with Performance Monitor.
A hotfix has been posted to the following Internet location. You can
download the self-extracting files from the following service:
- Internet (anonymous FTP)
ftp ftp.microsoft.com
Change to the bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/
nt40/hotfixes-postsp3/asp-fix/ folder.
Get Readme.1st (for instructions on downloading and installing the hotfix)
-or-
- Use the following full URL on your client browser:
FTP://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/fixes/usa/
nt40/hotfixes-postSP3/asp-fix/readme.1st
NOTE: This fix is only for Active Server Pages (ASP) version 1.0b. ASP 1.0b is the double-byte
character enabled version of ASP that is now available via web download or in the Microsoft
Windows NT Service Pack 3. (The version number on the Asp.dll file in 1.0b is: 1.15.14.0)

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
