That's my next stop. I don't see how adding more physical memory will help as suggested by Dell Cust. Serv.

I run my machine 24X7 because I do SETI analysis. But after about 4-5 days funny things happen on the screen and then I get an out of memory message. As soon as I reboot all is back to normal for 4-5 days. Windows Task Manager shows 52 processes running. My machine has 256 MB of physical memory. I have increased my min & max. page memory up to 1026 MB per DELL customer service. Now they say I need more physical memory. Does anyone have an idea what is going on? It seems to me that not all the code is being flushed out of the physical memory and it keeps building up until I get this error message. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much, Ken Janusz, CPIM
