• memory leak Winlogon.exe and high CPU usage

  I use Windows XP SP3. I'm leaking memory in winlogon.exe (about 5 M/hour). In addition, the CPU usage spikes to 50% of all 6 seconds. The file is properly signed so probably not a virus.

  This problem started after the application of last weeks patches.

  I seriously doubt that winlogon has a memory leak or people around the world would be screaming about it... and they are not.

  If this is what a thing look like, then you have another problem - probably a malware infection, or what you are currently using antivirus/antimalware protection is afflicted.

  Looking at previous answers, I would say that McAfee is afflicted, and it is already a well know that McAfee is a memory and CPU hog and you may want to consider replacing with something of less intrusive as Microsoft Security Essentials (do you use McAfee?).

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  No matter what you use for malware protection, follow these steps:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs at:

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/

• At startup memory usage fluctuates around 140 MB

  XP Pro Sp3 current on all hotfixes!  'Hidden' processes or services can cause my computer suddenly use about 150 MB additional memory?  As a general rule, when starting up, the memory usage is of +/-285 MB... where it remains for 3 to 5 days.  So, once again, at the start, memory is up to +/-420 MB... where he stays for another 3-5 days, before to return to the use of the bass.  In both scenarios, memory use derivatives up with 30 MB or more during the day due to memory leaks... but this isn't the issue.  And the verification task manager no extra processes are visible.  That is what it is?  I turned off "optimize idle time" for XP... and Ditto fuller analyses of 2012 NAV system.   Any ideas?  Thank you.

  Here are a few ways to share screenshots:

  You can download screenshot on your SkyDrive (everyone has a SkyDrive for files sharing) or to a third party image sharing site.

  Start with SkuDrive here:

  http://explore.live.com/SkyDrive-get-started

  Once you get your downloaded files and watch them on your SkyDrive, you need to 'share' your folders/files so that others can see them.

  Here is a link that tells you how to:
  http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-SkyDrive-change-access-permissions-FAQ

  Then click on the button "insert a link".  When you click on that, a window opens that contains the link to your SkyDrive files.

  Copy the contents of the box "copy this link to share:" in selecting the content of the link (it will be all highlighted), press Ctrl + C (copy) and then come back to the forum and in your next message, press Ctrl + V to paste the contents of the link back here.

  What you paste the return will look something like this link on my SkyDrive:

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?CID=6a7e789cab1d6f39&RESID=6A7E789CAB1D6F39! 311

  To create and send/post/print capture screen or a screenshot:

  Press the Print Scrn button to copy your entire screen to the Windows Clipboard.

  Press Alt Print Scrn to copy the active window to the Windows Clipboard.

  Open MS Paint:

  Start, programs, accessories, paint

  When the painting opens, press CTRL + V to paste the Clipboard, save the new file in paint on your desktop or somewhere that you remember.  JPG files take up less disk space than BMP files and are just as readable.

  Make screen captures as much as you want.  Practice makes perfect.  Make sure that your screenshot does not contain personal information.  Practice the visualization of your images before you send them to make sure they agree.

  If there is no such function in your forum to download files, then use a third-party free hosting site WWW image.

  Create a free account on some free photo hosting website.  You can always delete
  your account later if you wish.  Here are some free image hosting sites:

  http://www.imageshack.us/
  http://Photobucket.com/

  With your free account, download your screenshot (s) (JPG or BMP files) on the site and it is up to you to a URL (Direct link) for your new images that you can paste the link directly in the post message, e-mail, etc.

  Send this web address link live here in your answer, and we can click on the address of the link and see your screenshot.  After as many times as you need - the sites are free.

  When you are finished, what you post for others to use should look like these screenshots of my poor system:

• Check the memory usage

  I tried this code to display the memory usage. Running in the Simulator appears that zeros?

• Memory usage high phys with SMB share

  I have a number of shared folder of the os on my computer, shared the old through the advanced sharing.

  The usual RAM load is 1.49 GB as evidenced by the Task Manager showing 4094 MB total, 2387MB cache, 2562 MB available 215 MB of space free.

  This morning I realized that my memory usage was 3.9 GB and do not add numbers, pull up of resource monitor don't add sweats or it was all the "in use" with less than 300 MB of cache and 0 MB of free space, he showed the usual processes of same...

  the thing I discovered with the computer Manager was that my brother had a 2.9 GB. ISO file mounted in daemon tools on his computer (shared mine), JUST mounted it was not used at all and which seemed weird. At the point where I told him to remove the ISO (and the time TI has disappeared from the list of open files) memory usage has dropped to normal.

  During the period of the high memory use, the computer is VERY slow paging left and right whenever I tried to open the windows, open the tabs in firefox, switch tabs, etc.

  I want to know how to solve this behavior horribly wrong as my machine has a ton of shared files and in any case I'll tolerate that eat all my ram (what happens if I want to start a game when usage is through the roof?, what to do if all users on the network to mount the same file?) , XP, I had no this question and use memoery did not budge even on the share.

  I disabled the offline files and the service as well.

  Specifications of the PC: Win7 x 64 pro, 4 GB of RAM

  OK, I thought you open mount the ISO on Windows 7.

  Therefore, a Windows 7 problem. I think that, in this case you must contact the support of Ms. I don't know how I we can solve it.

• ESXi 4 memory usage

  We lack an ESXi 4 server with 6 virtual machines - each with about 2 GB of memory. We have 6 GB of memory on the server. Everything worked very well, and I added an another vm with 2 GB of memory. It shows that 5362 MB of memory is in use, but all the vm have slowed and the Task Manager display memory is attached. Is this normal behavior for this to affect all the vm? It seems that the host has still nearly 800 MB free memory.

  Thank you

  Scott

  It is 'Normal' when you have affected too much RAM to this degree...

  1. you let memory on the host computer to run/use ESXi (1-2 GB one).

  2 no more memory allocated to the execution of that virtual machine is that you actually have in the host. You have 12 GB allocated before you added the 7th VM, bringing up to 14 GB. More than two times the physical RAM in the host.

  I'm running inside my ESXi 4 server with 16 GB of RAM. I got 9 VM (allocated) RAM total adds up to 14.5 GB. Memory usage is about 10 GB. I could run another couple of VM (safely), depends on the amount of RAM is allocated to each until I meet questions. You must watch your Resource Allocation settings. If you have reserved memory on a virtual machine, which off memory in the pool can be given to other virtual machines...

  You have a few options to fix this...

  1. turn power off all the virtual computer that you don't need to run.

  2 remove the memory reservations on the virtual machine

  3. reduce the amount of RAM to the virtual machine, so the amount you are trying to use is closer to what the actual capacity is.

  4 increase the physical RAM inside the host.

• Target ball and ball over Active on the host with a lot of free memory

  Just at the moment where I think I understand the management of the ESX memory, something confuses me once again.  My understanding of the balloon pilot, is that when an ESX host has need of more memory to be allocated to other virtual machines as the VMKernel steals memory back from the virtual computer running.  However, I have a virtual machine which seems to indicate that the target of ball is well above what is memory 'Active', and the host ESX virtual machine running on a 6 GB of unused memory.  I think that this might have led this virtual machine to go into a State of forgetfulness once already, because I found it does not, only to discover that she used only 30% of CPU and 2 GB Active out of 6 GB of memory allocated, but making a ton of swap memory.  What gives?

  Why in the world of the balloon pilot would target memory on a VM running busy, when there is a lot of free memory available on the host, and why would be a beginning of comments Exchange when it uses only a fraction of the memory allocated to it and the host is sitting on the free memory pletty?  None of my other virtual machines have memory usage charts that look like this.

  This can happen even in the absence of resource pools. Check your settings of VM, "resources" tab and make sure that the unlimited checkbox that she checked on the memory and CPU...

• IPhoto deleting turned off my laptop computer to free up memory

  Help please - I transferred all my photos currently pictured on a stand alone disc

  I would also like to keep my last holiday pictures to my lap top and remove the other albums to release the memory. Pressed delete album on the albums up to 20, but the "amount of memory left has not changed.

  Anyone has any idea why?

  Second question, if I take the apple supply and store all my photos in the cloud, this will free up memory on my laptop?

  Cheers - MP

  To get help, that you must first provide details since we cannot see your computer - you posted in iPhoto for Mac forum but about pictures for Mac and give no idea what OS you have - what version of the operating system you have and what software photos do you use (name and version)

  In Photos or iPhoto cut an album recorded without space like albums aren't a place, but simply a way to display your photos and albums to take no space - and once again withou knowing what software you have in fact we cannot tell you precisely how to remove photos from your Mac

  If you're using iPhoto where you posted then iCloud library isn't an option - if you use instead of Photos, so is and if you set it to use optimized photos it will be disc space required on your laptop, but even once unless we have details we cannot tell you all you need to know

• How can I fix a sudden and drastic increase in memory usage?

  Before we begin, I have slight issues since the middle of last year, but I thought nothing of it. Commissioning using a good part of the memory of Firefox was normal, and I could launch alongside my other programs very well. However, there are about 3 or 4 days Firefox started to peak in the use of memory, to the point where it slows down my entire computer down, will not load pages and it is usually a mess. I always make her close, too, because whenever I close it classically, it is always open in the background. I had the problem of a few months back, but it was never a big problem until lately. I thought, at first, it was the result of some programs that installed as part of another program installation. I had no problem with the installer, considering that it comes from a forum trust for game design official theme, by a veteran member. However, he installed several toolbars and multiple programs. I went through all of the registry of them, my cleared them, uninstalled, everything was gone. However, this problem of memory made its ugly resurgence later. I uninstalled, reinstalled. Did not work. I tried to reset firefox, but it remained open in the background, and I couldn't reset it. I disabled my addons (those that I use it for over a year now), nothing. I tried to open Firefox with all the addons disabled, but it remained open in the background and refused to reopen correctly. I'm actually on another browser right now because Firefox no longer works for much... I also put a few attachments until you see the increase in question. It starts at about 270 000 K (although the screenshot shows approximately 312 000), then after about 4 or 5 minutes on my site, shoots up to more than 1,000,000 and it basically stops working. If anyone has any additional steps they think I could take, I'd appreciate it.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  I get the message "your system has wearied of the memory of the Application."

• Memory usage of Firefox flies away and crashes despite Reset etc.

  I use Windows Vista and recently, after he tried to update Java and Adobe plugins for Firefox browser last shot every time I use Firefox any open what really but especially if a video is open the memory usage keeps climbing and does not stop. Firefox crashes almost everytime. I tried the Reset, I tried to turn off and so on several plugins and others, and nothing has changed, but that the memory usage can climb higher and avoid crashing anymore. The fundamental problem of the memory usage crazy not stopped nor slowed down.

  It starts at an average use 200 k to 300 k, which was normal, except if he had run for hours or playback of videos for hours could go up to 800 k. For now, thirty minute walk with no video and four tabs is 1 300, 000 k. I don't know what does. I'll try to uninstall adobe and then use an earlier version but I have done so many things at this point, I'm curious to know who else has this problem. I have not tested the safemode, but despite everything I need a lot of these add-ons to what I use my browser for. I do not understand why the use of memory keeps climbing even when I do nothing. I run a system scan for virus etc, nothing. I know that I have an older video, its pilots updated card and I tried to turn on the option acceleration on and out also. Why Firefox would continue eating memory?

  The crash of the reports I receive look like this:
  BP-7cf4e751-66dB-49fc-8a05-083132130814
  BP-b680d967-eee5-44a7-a5e0-c1f422130814

  BP-304b8b40-d4e5-4F36-AF10-de58e2130814

  Thanks to anyone who can help!

  Three of the four crash reports indicate a correlation with the Ghostery extension. The precise cause seems to be indeterminate. Can you make an exception for the video sites and see that allows, or try turning it off for 24 hours?

• Extremely high after upgrade to Firefox 12 memory usage

  After I've upgraded to Firefox 12, I started frequently affected by hot air balloon Firefox memory usage extremely high (2-3 GB after a few minutes of navigation) light. Sometimes it will fall back down to a more reasonable level (a few hundreds of MB), sometimes it crashes (probably trying to garbage collect everything), and sometimes it crashes. Usually the thread crash cannot be determined, but when it's possible, it's in the garbage collection code ( https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/repor.../list?signature=js%3A%3Agc%3A%3AMarkChildren%28JSTracer * %2 js C + % 3A % 3Atypes % 3A % 3ATypeObject * 29% ).

  I managed to capture a subject: report memory when Firefox had about 1.5 GB and have attached an image.

  A couple of things I've tried. I have a lot of tabs open (although don't load it the tabs until the selected option is enabled), so I copied my profile, all kept my extensions enabled, but all my tabs closed. I then left an open page http://news.google.com/ and it worked very well for several days, while my original profile goes down several times a day.

  I also tried to disable most of my extensions, leaving the following extensions that I refuse to sail without:

  Adblock more
  BetterPrivacy
  NoScript
  PasswordMaker
  Views
  Priv3

  However, the problem still happens in this case.

  Don't know if this helps or not. I'm looking forward to trying Firefox 13 when it comes out.

  Never knew what was causing the problem, but have disappeared since the upgrade to Firefox 13, accidents and memory pathological use.

• How to take movies on my macbook air to free up memory and still access those I downloaded from iTunes?

  I want to free up the memory on my macbook air and have 65 GB of movies hogging the space. I don't want to lose them forever if you want to know how I can free up memory and again back to the film at some point in the future.

  If they were purchased through iTunes, you can download again them at any time.

  However, there is no way to stream movies, so you have to download the entire file again for a movie.

  Open iTunes > iTunes Store > purchased (on the right side of the window) > movies.

  Make sure that the sort is set to "Not in my library" If you try to redownload something that has been removed from the computer.

  How can I change the download folder. Firefox tells me of free memory, but there is actually enough space.

  IM using a Samsung Galaxy S. The problem was the internal sd card, which has been used by some data that belong to an application already deleted. That's why the smartphone was told there is still some free space. I formatted my sd card. Now, everything works fine.
