In the FreeRAM XP Pro settings (right click icon) under "Memory" you can
determine when RAM is to be freed. I have mine set to automatically
recover RAM when RAM goes below 32 MB (I have 512 Mb). It can be set at
any figure or can be done on a time basis such as every 30 minutes. Also
there is a setting that stops FreeRAM XP Pro running if the CPU is above
a certain figure.

Suggest you have a look and change the settings to suit your requirements.

While starting up Windows with various start up programs, the unused RAM will go down to about 730 MB and within a minute of fully being started the unused RAM settles down at about 750 MB. After a day or so of use the unused RAM is about 650 MB without any further recovery possible. I use FreeRAM XP Pro 1.40 to track and automatically recover RAM. I have tried noting the unused RAM before and after using programs to determine which programs are not releasing (or fully releasing) RAM. This procedure is time consuming and not always consistent.

It is the programs that are not running, but have retained RAM, that I am trying to find. I would like to eventually write complaint letters to the producers/owners of the offending programs.
