Rundll32 and eowp.17.1.76.0 are consuming more and more memory using ThreadRunner Options

Hi,

I've looked at the posts regarding the multiple rundll32 files, or the multiple eowp.17.1.76.0 files, that are created when I use ThreadRunner.

Here's the scenario: I'm using Threadrunner in a Thread, to check multiple web pages for a particular string in the text.

Each time I run the Module that contains the Threadrunner, it opens another instance of the rundll32 program in memory, that I see in Task Manager.

The issue is that the instances of rundll32 are not releasing. They are staying in memory. Each time I run another ThreadRunner query, it adds another instance. The instances are not releasing until I close my program, at which time they all release.

I have tried dimensioning the ThreadRunner as a Public declaration vs. declaring it in the Module, but it doesn't make any difference.

What is the cure for this? If I let the user run too many ThreadRunner queries, the computer locks up due to memory shortages.

Is there a way to release those excessive rundll32 instances?

Please reply soon!

Thanks!

Kim

Hi,

Make sure you call WebView.Destroy to destroy the WebView you created through the ThreadRunner. The number of rundll32.exe is directly linked to WebView instances.

Thanks!
