Hello everyone, I need some help please. I am on a work computer, on a network. I have many rights, but not full admin rights. IT does not have the time, nor the skill to help me out. My problem is related to memory. Most of what I do is laggy between mouse click and actual execution, no matter the program (be it IE or ArcView). The biggest hint to the problem is that when I look at windows task manager, a couple dozen programs are running over 30,000k in the “mem usage” column. This should not be, and has not always been. For example, yesterday I did some windows updates (not SP3, I’ve had that since release) and only a very few programs where running over 30,000k, most under 10,000k (I created a restore point while it was running good, which it did until I restarted it today). My computer has spysweeper and rtvscan. I have done microtrend’s online virus scanner. So I am confident that my system is clean of bugs. It is defragged and error checked. At the moment, without any big programs running, my RAM usage is 866 of 2046 available (statbar), which is normal. This has been going on for a couple months.
Thank you in advance for any advice!
