Hi Curt,
Some applications run in the background of windows and may cause the leakage
of memory.Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to see what is going with your windows.
Another way you can do is go to Start\Run, and type in MSCONFIG then choose
the Tab Startup to see what will run at the boot time of the system.
Regards,
Huynh Minh Huong

Subject: [PCBUILD] Specific Problem
> A couple weeks ago I reformatted my computer and reinstalled my OS
(win98se) and hardware drivers like normal. I also updated IE to 6.0 and
windows installer to 2.0. After that I installed my normal most used
programs such as office 2000, cute ftp, some cd burning software, etc. Now
my problem that I am encountering is this. Whenever I download any large
files over ftp (I've tried multiple ftp clients) or when I am burning cd's
it seems like I have this massive memory leakage (I have 512, usually 400
free at least and when I'm done 0) and my CPU spikes from normal usage to
100% seemingly on a cycle of about every 3-5 seconds. I would like to note
that I have no other programs running when I am using this stuff, and am not
using any new hardware or programs since my previous reformat just before
christmas. I was wondering what sort of things could be causing this, and if
any of you might be able to shed some light on this.
