XP Pro sp2 problem

Just got a Dell Inspiron 1520 (Core2Due T5250, 2gb DDR2 667mhz). Just installed a fresh copy of XP SP2 and all is well with the exception of 2 things.

Ive noticed that from the time Windows loads the pagefile usage slowly and steadily increased even when the system is idle. After a couple of hours windows starts complaining about being low on virtual ram even when Im not doing anything memory intensive. Weird thing is when it starts complaining I check my RAM usage and not even half of it is in use (usually only about 400-500mb out of 2gb). If I leave the system on over night I wake up to my RAM and pagefile completely maxed out and some applications crash because of it. When i check Task Manager to see whats hogging all the resources no exe listed shows itself using more then the average amount of memory or pagefile. This is getting very frustrating because until I know what the problem is I have to restart Windows every couple hours to avoid using up all resources.

All help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks for the info. I found out it was one of the Dell utilities that offers some additional options for the wireless card. Its an unneeded service so I disabled it and all is well now! :cool:
