I think I found the culprit. :)

I disabled all the usb root hub's and the memory usage is back to zero. So now how do I get my usb's back in order? I didn't see a usb driver on that link you supplied unless it's the 8/1 media reader?

The pc came with media center but I loaded pro this time. I supposed I could go back to media center BUT media center is what was loaded when I developed the problem in the first place.....

I guess I'll try those media reader drivers and see if that brings back my usb's
