• audiodg.exe uses extreme amounts of memory and is a memory leak

  In my version of Win7, I noticed that the audiodg.exe problem since the days of Vista as posted here http://blogs.msdn.com/larryosterman/archive/2007/01/31/what-is-audiodg-exe.aspx have not been resolved to the extent of the audiodg.exe is concerned. I am exceeding 980 mb after that a few hours of computer work on my system and the CPU (3 hearts) gets POUNDED by this process later. Once I have kill the audiodg.exe in my system task manager becomes very fast and catchy as it should be. However, I lose all sound.

  I have a card his Creative Labs X - Fi Xtreme with the latest drivers for Windows 7.

  Why has this file and its inability to free the memory that should not have been treated for Windows 7? allocation of 980 mb on a 4 GB system for this driver file is ridiculous! I don't like how many bells and whistles your soundcard uses, it is an astronomical amount of memory it consumes and refuses to release back to the system.

  ALT-tab between applications once this process is killed becomes as sensitive and night on my system.

  PLEASE FIX THIS FILE!

  I don't buy a preconfigured PC because they never are good imo. I have a Gigabyte mobo, 4 GB of memory Corsair (Dominator), graphics card Sapphire Radeon ATI 3870, Coolermaster HAF 932 case, 720 processor Phenom II AMD and Creative XFi Xtreme card sound w/Windows 7 drivers. All the drivers are always up-to-date for all. No overclocking (yet) done. Windows 7 Pro version version too.

  I'll take a look at this link, but IMO there is a serious issue with the code in the audiodg.exe since Vista process that has not yet been fixed. Some ppl of things on report items is:

  (1) system response extremely slow when alt-tabbing between applications because of the audiodg.exe process. (I've noticed this myself).
  (2) sound recording causes gaps in the audio file created in the same period of 11ms audiodg.exe takes to dump its worker threads. (I have not checked myself that I have no noise, but this gentleman here can attest to this fact here .)
  (3) use of the extremely exorbitant memory and memory leaks the audiodg.exe. (I've noticed myself and he checked with almost 1 GB of memory used on the file audiodg.exe)

  I think your link above can be a good solution for this problem of using memory thank you (unless of course your Creative card uses Dolby Digital Live) to find but other issues (1 and 2) should always be addressed to people who have noticed them on this forum and others. I wll contact creative labs and pin them down on resources from misuse or from the memory of this asap services!

  The related solution will not work if you are using Ventrilo (I have use a lot) so I'll also contact Creative as to what may be a problem with their services and how they interact with the file subsystem audiodg.exe.

• CC in Photoshop using large amounts of memory with no file open

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with the CC of Photoshop last updated who introduced the starting workspace.

  The issue I'm having is that Photoshop is suck a non-pieuse amount of memory even when it is not an open file. Here is a screenshot to illustrate this:

  

  I thought that the Workspace 'start' was the cause of this memory suck and disabled. I find does not Photoshop to use this memory for no apparent reason.

  Someone can help me understand why Photoshop behaves in this way and how to prevent that the program uses this memory when there is not all the files open within the program?

  Thank you

  James

  That's when you start Photoshop, or have you been using Photoshop to process documents and have save and close so now them nothing is open in Photoshop?

  If you have used Photoshop and Photoshop was in need of more memory to work on your documents and distributed.  Photoshop is programmed to manage the resources it allocates your system. Photoshop will return any memory allocated to word processing document until you close Photoshop.  Photoshop will reuse memory is allocated and now manages.

  When you close Photoshop. Photoshop will return all memory and scratch disk space than that allocated to your operating system. I use the workspace of departure.  When I open Photoshop, I see using Photoshop like 761 MB of Ram.  I create a document and Photoshop is now handle 13 GB of my highest RAM, I never saw him use was close to 30 GB, which is close to the limit, I have set my preferences. I closed that very large, much later than the document so everything is now open in Photoshop is my Clipboard document, I have two screen Capture layer and will have 3 layers of screen capture.   You can see Photoshop working together is still 13 GB.

  Note You can use the Edit > purge > point and Photoshop will return it manages resources.    I drove CC 2015 to use 27 GB of Ram.  When I used Edit > Purge > all I received a warning message that it can not be canceled if you continue. I have Photoshop do the purge by the use of Photoshop Ram went from 27 GB to 1.9 GB.

• How to install the memory available for the video and why my computer say I have only 2 GB of memory usable on 4 GB

  Windows says experince installed memory usable GB 2.0 GB of video memory available 1296 4.o 0. How can I fix it? Also, so that you know the hard drive is clean only win.7 of 64-bit operating system and programs plant that was installed by acer. It's a s - 3 acer ultrabook. So my main question would be what uses that amount of memory and what can do to free up? And why the video always says it has more than one GB of available memory, but 0 is installed?

  Have you read this magazine for the laptop?
  http://www.notebookcheck.NET/review-Acer-Aspire-S3-391-53314G52add-Ultrabook.81619.0.html

  And this one for the Intel HD4000.
  http://www.notebookcheck.NET/Intel-HD-graphics-4000-benchmarked.73567.0.html

  The intel HD4000 is pretty good, perhaps the best card onboard graphics (not sure
  AMD integrated graphics last how compare), but this is not always suitable to the
  Games of high specification, except on low heat.
  There may be problems with some older games as well because sometimes they do not recognize the
  as a viable option, integrated graphics or because there is no dedicated VRAM.

  You must update all the drivers on the ACER site.
  I don't know what you need from AMD drivers for. There should be nothing AMD on your machine.

• MESSAGE: Your computer is runing out of memory. Quit other programs, and try again. I don't have enough memory. What could be wrong?

  When you want to play a downloaded video

  Is the video you are trying to read the HD? If it's a 720 p or 1080 p video, it might be several gigabytes in size, and for this to open and buffering for reading you must have enough available memory to do.
  Are you sure that you do not have high memory use? Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and choose TASK MANAGER. Make sure that none of the open programs are using large amounts of memory.

  300-400 MB is not huge.

  How AVG reports that Firefox uses?

• Firefox 4 causes my toolbar of the window to freeze! It also uses a huge amount of memory, 220 000. more than any other program.

  Since the update to Firefox 4 my Windows toolbar crashes after a few minutes. Firefox also uses a huge amount of memory. More than any other program and I have a lot of powerful programs. This time 222 000. More than any other program. Critical problem.

  I am glad that you are making progress. With all the Firefox test gets I was optimistic, such a problem could not escaped, and that the problem is more likely to be on your own computer.

  P. S.
  
  Note there is also a bug not fixed in Firefox, causing several plugincontainer.exe to launch even for disabled plugins turned off cookies (or history).

• When using Firefox I get popups frequent AVG Antivirus saying that Firefox uses an excessive amount of memory - is this a problem with Firefox or AVG or something else?

  Using Windows 7 with all updates. Computer has 6 GB of ram and has no problems with other sites

  If these messages back, see AVG support on how to increase the threshold trigger the trigger for this message. With 6 GB of RAM, there is no reason for Firefox using less than 10% of your RAM to be a problem and cause this message appears. IMO, the alarm should not trigger up to about 50%.

• What is reasonable memory for Firefox use?

  What is reasonable memory for Firefox use?

  The normal use, I am an average of 1.2 G or about memory (of 16 G total); is this normal? Don't not maxing out at all but I was wondering.

  How to define and measure the use of memory for Firefox? Activity monitor? I use Firefox to write this. In the activity monitor, I see Firefox to 347 MB and Firefox Web Content to 259 MB.

• Why firefox uses so much memory?

  For several months, Firefox has eaten memory like crazy. Once I get more than 5 tabs open or that you have Firefox running for more than an hour, the memory usage hit about a GB. If I continue to let go beyond that, it will hit 1.5 to 2 GB and it made my gel set office. I got to keep the Task Manager and every hour or so just kill Firefox and restart. Preventing it from crashing my whole desktop computer. It's definitely worse when I opened Google products, especially maps and Docs. GMail is generally OK.

  I tried to disable literally every add-on and Extension (including Flash and Adblock).

  I'm on Windows 7, I have 4 GB of RAM installed. I am on version 40.0 Firefox, but this has happened through a few updates now (I think the problem started around March or April). I also tried to back - rev Firefox and go to the latest version, that I had before the problems started, but that did nothing either.

  Chrome works fine on this machine without any similar problems - but I prefer Firefox!

• AppleMobileDeviceService.exe use a large amount of memory

  Original title: Applemobiledeviceservice.exe

  I am running XP Professional and have installed MSE on the computer as my antivirus software.  I have 2 GB of memory and has recently added SpeedyPC Pro to improve performance. Today my PC was slow and open the Task Manager and saw that applemobiledeviceservice.exe used a large amount of memory.  I think my daughter has added years back, but she no longer uses this computer.  Do I need?  If this is not the case, how can I remove it?

  See you soon

  SpeedyPC... what a scam.
