Guest Tmuld Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Hello, I an application with several processes. I check task manager - and a set process was using a certain amount of Memory and Virtual Memory. I stopped and restarted the process - the Memory started at 0 and incremented. The VM stay exactly at the same point it was before the process was stopped. Why didn't the VM start at 0 and work its way up? Can I force it to do so? thanks, Tmuld.

What task manager is showing is the amount of virtual memory which is available for use. The amount that the process is actually using is something entirely different. I would suspect that every process on your system has the same amount of virtual memory for use. Jim

Guest Gerry Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 Re: Freeing up Virtual Memory for apps Task Manager records allocations of virtual memory not usge! http://aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm -- Hope this helps.
