Hi there
im using windows 2000 with all the latest patches from microsoft
i also run firewall and antivirus software
my trouble is that when i start windows 2000 (proffesional) in task manager
with nothing open at all it says that i am using 120mb of ram...
i checked for viruses and spyware and found nothing and a quick totle up in
my head concludes that my running tasks total about 40mb... so why on earth
is the bars n graphs view showing 120mb?
this problem gets worse once my pc has ran more then 3 - 4 days with windows
claiming its swap file (which incidentally is 1 gb) is too small
this is real frustrating is there anything i can do to fix it?
and no windoze :-P your not gobbling any more of my hardisk for a friggin
swap file x-(

Memory usage of 120MB is in the normal range so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Your problem after 3 or 4 days of running sounds
like a memory leak to me. You're gonna have to nail down which process is consuming all available memory over a period of time.
