Well, I'm not that knowledgeable about Windows either... Looking at the Task Manager and the Performance area, which numbers are the critical ones to monitor? Is it the "available" memory, and if so, when does that number get so low that it becomes a problem? Do I watch CPU usage?... or is the "commit charge" info a critical variable?

Thanks.

It might not be *your* program that's having problems. :-(

I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to Windows, but leaving the Task Manager open so that you can see what resources different apps are using would probably be a good start. Then leave it all running and wait until there are problems. Don't you just love intermittent bugs?

My understanding <insert usual caveats here> is that "Commit charge" is the amount of memory currently in use, including both physical ram and virtual (disk) memory. Limit shows the maximum that's available. Peak shows the maximum usage in the current session.

In the case of a memory leak, each time the offending code is executed, the commit charge will rise by an amount that is not subsequently released. Eventually it will reach Limit, at which point you would expect problems.

In the processes tab you should be able to see which process is hogging all that memory.
