I use a program called MaxMem which will dump any of those things left in memory. I have used it with win 98 and now with XP (Pro and Home). I have it set a bit agressive and rarely have a problem with loss of memory. I usually stay around 65% resources no matter what I am doing. You can get it here (free)

I have tried several different memory managers and this seems to be the lowest load when cleaning.

My computer is an XP 2.4 GHz with 512MB RAM. It is about a year old.

After working on the Internet for some time - sometimes even less than an
hour - strange things happen with my dialup connection. I can no longer use
the Internet or send/receive e-mail (I use OE6). The Network Connections
icon (showing two computers that are connected) still shows that I am
on-line.

If I restart the computer, everything is fine - until it happens again. I
may have to end some other
tasks with the Task Manager, but not always. There is no consistent pattern
about what tasks have to be ended, and I can see nothing consistent about
what would trigger the dialer failure. I've checked for viruses.

I suspect a memory problem - it may be refusing to release the memory after
using it. However, this problem does not occur when using other programs,
such as Office.

What could be causing the problem?

How come nowadays the word "honesty" is generally preceded by the phrase "old-fashioned" ?
