I was looking again at what you were saying in one of your other replies,
about how fast the memory is filling up for it to go from 35% to 90% in 3
days or so, but I think that I may have given the wrong impression there. It
doesn't just do it on its own. If I restart it right now, it will come back
with around 35% of memory in use, for the tasks that run all the time on the
machine. If I just leave it at that, and go to bed, when I get up in the
morning, it will still be at 35%. As it will at lunchtime, if I still do
nothing. It is the action of using the machine that causes the memory to
start to fill up. I use email a lot, but T-Bird is left running all the
time, so I guess it's not actually anything to do with that. I use Explorer
a lot to retrieve files on the machine, and Internet Explorer 8 for web
browsing. I use Windows Live Mail for newsgroup handling, and Acrobat and
latterly PDF-Viewer (although the problem was there before I even got that
program) for viewing pdf schematic files. I suppose that I need to look
carefully at what amount of memory is in use before I start a particular
task, and then recheck after I close it back down, although I am sure that
in general, I have actually done this, and seen that it never seems to go
back down to quite what it was, before whatever task was started up, which
is why I felt that it was an operating system thing in that it wasn't
totally removing everything from memory that was associated with that task,
after I close it down. As to the memory type, PC components are a mystery to
me. I am merely reporting here, what the system reports to me as to the type
and speed that's in there.

Possibly, you could download and run an analyzer and let us know CPU
and memory type, etc.
