Everyday, I hibernate xp, and the next day I wake it up.
Then, I found that its memory is less and less, and finally reboot is
only way to release memory.
Take an example, a program called svchost.exe use about 3xMB memory and
3x virtual memroy.
After wake it up, it uses 56MB memory and 44MB virtual memory.
I am sure there is no virus in my xp, and I have already upgraded to
sp2 and all fix.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks.
Which instance of SVCHOST.EXE is using the memory? If you look in
Task Manager - Processes you should see a column labeled PID (Process
Identifier). Each item listed by Task Manager has a unique PID
number and you need to determine this number for the problem instance
of SVCHOST. If the PID column is not being shown on Task Manager use
View - Select Columns to add it to the display.
Which edition of XP (Home, Pro, Tablet, or Media Center) do you have?
If it is Pro, Tablet, or Media Center open a Command Prompt window
(Start - Run - CMD) and enter the following command:
TASKLIST /SVC
Tasklist is not included with XP Home so you will need to get a copy
of it and put it into your \Windows\System32 folder
You can download it from

You can then see which services are running under each instance of
SVCHOST, and the PID value is shown for each. That should show you
which group of services (there could be as many as 24 individual
services running under a single instance of SVCHOST. Or as few as 1.
Good luck
