Vista SP1 Memory Leak?
Hello,
I've been running Vista on a few PC's since release and haven't had any real problems until SP1. The issue I'm running into now is all of the PC's I've updated have a slow memory leak since upgrading to SP1. After about 2-3 days of use, explorer.exe is up to 400-500MB Commit & Working Set. This is up from 29M/49M a few hours into use after a fresh boot. Also, there is a svchost network service that balloons up to 400MB. The system becomes extremely sluggish and slow, with Physical Memory listing as 70%+ versus 17-23% up to 2+ hours after a fresh restart. Performing a fresh restart fixes the problem. explorer.exe shrinks to normal 30-40MB usage and the one svchost is also small ~30MB working set. It will be about 2-3 days before the system needs to be restarted once more as it'll start becoming extremely slow/sluggish to use. This only started after applying SP1. Prior, uptimes of 30+ days and the system performed great. These systems are Home Premium, 32-bit and with 2 or 3 gigs of system ram each. Any tips on trying to isolate what is causing explorer.exe to balloon so much post SP1?

Hi,
You might try using Process Explorer to get a better handle on precisely what is causing the issue: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...sExplorer.mspx -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Stevo" wrote in message ...

Vista SP1 Memory Leak?
Yeah, I noticed that this issue was dead...just a shot in the dark. Im disabling services one by one to see if I find the culprit. -- pacmantravis
