Poolmon from Support Tools

[KD]

I have a problem with W2KPro computer. During the work the
amount of memory usage increases to reach the limit
(system displays message about "lack of memory"). The
paging file is set to value 256 MB (twice of physical
RAM). I've found in Support Tools a tool called
poolmon.exe which is described to solve memory leakages,
but I have trouble to interpret its output. I don't know
how can I find out which process is responsible for memory
leaks, how can I identify a link between processes and
memory tags. Anyone experienced with poolmon?

If you've 'set' yr paging file size, you might want to let Win2K manage it
Task Mngr, running processes may also assist in showing mem.usage/app

Hi David!
I think you misunderstood me. I asked for help about
poolmon. I know how to use Task manager but I think it
can't be solved this way. Memory usage in task manager
shows pretty normal values to me but the fact is that
during the day the total amount of available memory is
decreasing. It looks like the memory is allocated, but not
deallocated afterwards.

Is it possible that this is a hardware problem?
