It is not sufficient to close all programs and log on as a different user; restarting Win95 is necessary to clean up the environment, and to make some of the .DLLs from the patches live (it is likely that several of them are active and loaded.)

As wrong as it can be I'd say, just for curiosity I started sysmon right after turning on the computer (no softboot but real turn off) and there it was, 58 megs allocated memory. I wish I had time to track it down but I'm on the last phase of a big project due in about two weeks.

Partly it could be my fault, since I started this project about 8 months ago I haven't had time to do simple maintenance. This morning I started defrag and it showed 14%!!!! Shame on me. :)

BTW
On NT you can track the memory usage of each process with taskman, I think there's a way to do the same on WIN95 but can't remember. Any ideas?

TIA
