(a) On the Task Manager - CPU is 100%.
(b) The physical memory is as follows:
Total 392Mb
Avail 110-112Mb
File Cache 26Mb
(c) Stopping and starting helps, but then it creeps right back up to 100%
(d) Exchange 5.5 sp3 and post 6a security rollup.

> b) STORE.EXE can take close to 100% of memory without a worry - but NOT CPU.
