Hi guys, Trying to figure out where a memory leak is and lack of information is a problem. I understand that the memory usage is comprised of the processes shown in task manager and also there is the cached allocation to speed things up but something is using memory that cannot be accounted for between those two. The main task manager memory usage counter will slowly go up (takes several days to chomp it's way through 16GB of RAM) but running quick n dirty maths on all the processes leaves (after several days) a massive shortfall. The performance of the system gets quite bad once this leak reaches the point where the windows cache is all gone and there is nothing but what the applications had already taken plus this boogey monster allocation. Is there a program which could potentially shed more light on exactly where the ram is being held? Obviously it's possible to allocate memory in such a way that does not show in task manager and I guess I want to show those allocations in broad daylight. thnks! -cc
