Never have to restart a XP computer?

[Terje Sivertsen]

Is it possible to refresh or release unused memory and resources without
restarting the computer?



We have several computers running process applications that run all the time
and the customer don't want to restart the computers on a regular basis.



The problem is that when a computer has been running for a few weeks without
a restart, strange things start to happen. I have noticed several different
crashes, but them all seams to relate to low availability of necessary
resources. This happens usually when no one is operating the computer.
(The computers are mainly running without supervision).



Typical crashes include "Out of memory", "Error binding socket",
"Insufficient resources", "'Cannot create another system semaphore" and
random graphical screen errors.



We have updated windows and applications to fix most memory leaks and bugs.

Next step will be upgrading the RAM on the machines.



Is there anything else we can do?

Is there a magical program out there that can release unused resources and
memory?



System information:

Dell OptiPlex GX 280 computers running Windows XP with SP2.

512 MB RAM, integrated graphics and network card.

MS Office 2003 Basic. PC-cillin OfficeScan anti-virus. iFix process
software.

The computers communicate with each other over TCP/IP in a domain.



Kind regards,

Those hardware specs are at a home-users minimal at best,integrated video
is at the bottom of the scale with pcs,ram 512mb,minimal at best since youre
video is intigrated.Wonder where the power supply specs would be if tested.To
work with what you have,set the page file to "let system manage" in system
properties,click set 2X Exit.Intel says,disable PagingExecutive, & it does
work,go
to run,type:regedit In regedit,expand:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current
ControlSet\SessiomMgr\R click MemoryManagement,open.L.click DisablePaging
Executive Go to edit,modify,set to 1 From 0 Close out regedit,restart
pc.Microsoft
says this also...
