Hello, It sounds like a memory leak, e.g., a program keeps allocating more and more RAM from the system but does not release it when it is finished using the RAM, causing the system to appear to run out of memory until the program finally exits.
I am not sure what might be causing it, though, as it sounds like two different programs had the same issue. Perhaps the interaction of some third party program in conjunction with them? Regards, Aryeh Goretsky At 10:00 AM 8/13/2011, you wrote:

So I have had to disable that program. Now IE just crashed and when I look in the Process Lasso report, it shows IE also occupied the entire RAM space. Perhaps someone could educate me as to what is happening here, and whether there is any fix. tks to all
