If i do alot of cutting , pasting, file editing, etc, after a while my computer goes sluggish, and needs a reboot. Is there anyway to just wipe memory leaks from the ram through software?

I'm going to guess that you are running Windows 98 or ME. What you're seeing is resource consumption, and the only cure is a reboot or an upgrade to Windows 2000 or XP. I used to reboot at least once a day with W98, I run for a week between reboots now, and they're only because my automated GHOST backup reboots the machine to do the backup. :)
Havent used it myself but give this a try...

Memory-Trax III (Mem-Trax III) is a small program that reclaims the memory Windows neglects to release when you quit out of a program. I'll demonstrate how it works on today's show.


Reclaiming memory makes your system run a bit more smoothly and reduces the frequency of system crashes caused by memory issues.


As you'll see, a dialog box pops up when you run Memory-Trax III. A meter shows you how much of your memory is currently in use.


Tell the program to automatically clear memory when memory usage reaches a certain limit or manually hit the reclaim memory button. Automatic mode features a voice alert telling you when memory reclamation begins and ends.
