Ram leak
Because windows goes around and tries to fill memory with things you might

Ram leak
He hasn't said a single thing that would indicate a problem.
On Desktops windows tries to use all memory but 4 MB. It leaves 4 MB free in case you want to start a new app so it can start it quickly. "JW" wrote in message ...
