Hi and thanks for everybody's response.
I still didn't solve this problem.
To minimizing VS...
I tried minimizing VS. It really frees RAM, but it didn't do anything
with virtual memory.
To BETA 2...
I had Beta 2 produts installed before, but I uninstalled them all before
installing release version of VS. But OK. This morning I spent
uninstalling almost everything from Microsoft. I left just Office,
Framework 1.1 and VS 2003. After that I ran "vs_uninst_betas.exe" from
Microsoft, which should uninstall everything related to Beta 2 products.
It did not find anything to uninstall. So I again Installed VS 2005
Professional and.... the problem remained. :(
To switching to C#...
Well... I believe, this would help, but for several reasons we cannot
use C#. Anyway, even when there are convertors, it's not so easy to
switch. For example because of developers.
As I see it, it seems to be some problem with Visual Basic, because:
1) Everybody, who do not have this kind of problem use C#.
2) I have the same problem with VS 2005 Professional at work (where
we use VB.NET) and with Visual Basic 2005 Express at home.
I think that VB has some bug that keeps allocating virtual memory
without freeing it. When I watched it in task manager again, RAM is
sometimes freed (i.e. when I minimize VS, but during the work too), but
virtual memory never. It just only grows... very quickly. :-(

Hello all.
I have a quite big probelm with Visual Studio 2005. I program in Visual
Basic and VS consumes all my memory, both RAM and virtual. I monitor
devenv.exe process in Task Manager. When I start VS and load a solution
(it's not so big), it occupies aproximatly 130 MB of RAM and the same
amount of virtual memory. As I work, both of them goes up. And I do just
simple things .. say I have 4 tabs with source code opened and I edit
one of them. Occupied memory raises and very soon (up to 1 hour) the
devenv.exe process has all RAM memory (I have 512 MB in system and the
process takes cca 350 MB) and even all virtual memory (about 1 GB). I
have to turn VS on and off, because otherwise it crashes. :-( I don't
need to say you that work is very slow and restarting VS is annoying.
At home I have the same problem with Visual Basic 2005 Express.
Did anybody encounter this problem? Thanks a lot for any response.
Some technical info:
Visual Studio: VS 2005 Professional Edition, Version 8.0.50727.42
Framework: 2.0.50727
Language: Visual Basic
Hardware: AMD Sempron 2800+ (2 GHz), 512 MB RAM

PS: Well. I know, 512 MB of RAM is not too much fo VS and very soon I
will get 1 GB, but I don't thing that it will solve my problem.
