I've been experiencing the "out of memory -- increasing
page file..." error and astonishingly slow responses, so
I've been trying to plug memory leaks. I just (clean
format) reinstalled Windows 2000 professional, updated to
the current service packs, hotfixes and browser (and media
player 9) but have not installed any applications. I'm
getting the errors again. When I add up the memory usage
per process listed in task manager, they do not add up to
anywhere near the "commit charge total" shown by task
manager. Is that normal? Or is it a sign of the leak? How
do I trace it if it does not show up in the process list?
Is it possible I have a defective install disk? I have two
other computers running win2k (different install disks -
security features prevent me from trying them on my
problem computer) and response is instantaneous- no memory
leaks at all. (e.g. processes add up to 45 MB usage,
but "commit charge - total" = 101 MB, "- peak" = 145 MB)
