Hi Joseph,
Do you know, in a process of elimination, how I would go about finding the
faulty program?
Thanks,
Roger
Hi there,
Sounds like a memory leak--where a program
fails to release RAM after it has finished
with it. This sometimes happens, and the
only way to exit this dilema is to uninstall
the offending program (too many anti-spyware
programs may slow your computer; one is
fine).
Cheers,
Joseph
