thanks. but, now that I know one of my svchost.exe files is constantly hogging all my available memory, what do I do about it? It's gotten so bad that I sometimes have to reboot two or three times. it might take me up to a half hour before everything settles down and I can actually use my computer. How do I figure out why the svchost.exe file is killing me???

lot of memory.

Thanks Leo, another helpful tool and one that I will definitely be getting to grips with, you do a great job. May I point out with regard to the comment from Charlotte Kimm on 6 April, you can actually change the order of the columns. To do this, left click on the column header and, while holding down the mouse button, move the column header to the place you need it.

The article and the Process Explorer tool were very helpful. However, when I viewed processes running on my system, there were 6 abstantiations of "svchost.exe" running. The collective total of the memory being used by these processes was very large. Is this normal?

Thanks, you do an especially good job of making the steps easy to follow...here though, it might be helpful to state that the window may have to be made larger left to right size, in order to see the working set and virtual columns..thanks again for being there for your readers... Charlotte
