--ZeeMan-- Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 My computer is just basically <<insert word that means to have sex>> I can only use abotu 6-15% of my memory and I can't find out where all of it is going and how to change it. I've tried deleting lots of big files but it's still not working. Finally after going through my taskbar and removing everthing except for systry, explorer, and rscmtr (resource monitor) i can finally have enough memory free to run aim. :-( Any and ALL ideas would be appreciated...

coupes. Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 you should try downloading adaware, it's pretty good for getting rid of spywares. It might not be what's causing your troubles though, I'd suggest you update your antivirus software and perform a full system scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legameboy Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 A memory leak is basically a bug or something that messes with your memory and hogs most or all your memory, causing your computer to lag continuously or making things crash sometimes. It's a: Memory. Leak. Lol, that was a pretty sloppy sum-up of it. ^_^ Hope that answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
