I defragg the hard drive every couple of months, just wanted to know if you blokes used a program that addresses this issue. I have looked at a few like- Memokit and Memmonster, though I was apprehensive as a couple had been removed from download sites such as C-NET without explanation, can anyone recommend a program or ways to regain/optimise virtmemory or fix/control memory leaks? Running XP Pro/256 ram/2.6 GHz Thanks, Boucher.	Boucher (9716)

429861	2006-02-12 21:49:00	any program like those you mentioned usually work by removeing apps from ram and place them into the virtual memory space so you got more usable ram.....however if you have low virtual memory in the first place then it aint gonna be much use......ram is cheap get some more......	drcspy (146)
429862	2006-02-12 21:50:00	most likly someone has "tweaked" your virtual memory and set it way to low. with XP it needs to be a least double ram size or the easy way is to simply let windows manage it. no fancy program needed, its all adjustable from the controlpanel/system/performance tab (i hope that direction is right, have a hunt in there for it).	tweak'e (69)
