Hi Lewis,
I can almost guarantee the culprit is Spybot Search and Destroy's
TeaTimer function. It seems to affect Win98SE and ME.
Supposedly the memory leak had been fixed in their lastest beta,
but I found it not to be so.
To disable TeaTimer (you don't really need it...it just monitors
registry changes and lets you allow and disallow it....other programs
will do the same, without the leakage), open Spybot in advanced
mode, choose the "Tools" tab, and click on "Resident." Here you will
see the two programs checked (SD Helper and TeaTimer). Uncheck
TeaTimer (SD Helper is okay to leave on) and exit the program.
Reboot the computer to get rid of any traces of the "leak" from
TeaTimer, and you should be all set.
Hope this helps. By the way, due to the difference in memory
handling with XP, it doesn't seem to affect it with that operating
system.
