Reboot and check if your computer is still consuming massive amounts of memory.
Then check ctrl alt del.
Third, run Memcheck or some other memory testing application.

ok il truly help you now here is what i would do in order form least desperate
1# press ctrol del alt find programs that ur not using and close them down
2# go to c drive or whatever u have your storage on, rightclick click disk clean up and willo terminate any files that have never been used or have been used since the last year or so- saves atleast 1-10 gb of space
3# go to watti's documents and setting or whatever it is called, go to every folder temporay cookies webpages saved and etc - this saved me 5gp of memory once
4# uninstall all programs u never use. some things seem stupid like many mods and stuff but those 3mbs add up allot and also the games.
5# go to system restore back in time
6# buy some of those green disk with commit,kernel, physical memory 20- 80$ , saves lag and speeds up computer
7# ok i have NO clue how the do it but go to a computer store and thel somehow trnasver data onto or away from your computer or something like that - what a waste of 80 bucks

Watti try to use a registry cleaner.
If you de-install a lot of programs they might leave some traces in the registry. This can block up memory.
Next you really need to check what processes are running. Pres CTRL-ALT-DEL and go to the tab processes.
Put the name of all in to Google and check if they are part of Windows or other programs. If not kill them.

-

-
Well you asked me what type of computers I use.
I can use computers at home or at work. Or I can use the coputers at work from home. Or I use the computers at home from work.
Or I connect to my computer with my PDA. Or to my PDA with my computer. OMG I am confused :trust:
Usually I m on my laptop at home or on any PC at work. But these days it does not matter where you are.
-

svchost.exe i need and it takes up about 30,000 of my ram(when my computer has been on for a bit)... and MSN takes up 40,000 and i need that and MTA can get Realy high up to about 50,000(when i accidently left it on yesterday it got upto that) when im not using MSN... and firefox 20,000 what i have seen... so these programmes i use every day .. Please help
there is not programmes unneccisary (because i use a few programmes....) i have 1 or 2 i dont use often but i use essentially when im modifing my website
Umm to me it matters were i am because skool computer are slow, and realy hard to use, my mums computer the moniter is a round screen and i cant keep my eyes on it... my sisters is a laptop i cant even move the mouse.... and my friends computer... 1GB HD... thinks its better than mine ( probably is ATM) - my dads computer at work ... mouse is stupid and the screen is black and white and he has a dedicated server some were in his office...
-
Watti these are the programs. Look at the processes. I think there are a lot more than that running.
-

-
this is realy pissing me off... because i check the task manager often... and the thingo is fine but my computer goes SLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWW
-
many things can be causing this could you answer these questions?
what type of connection do you use?
How much memory does your computer have?
How old is your computer?
How strong is the mother board?
How many gega hearts do you have, i have no clue if thats the meaning but as in my computer runs 3.4gh
Some thigns might be your computer itself and not programs
-
The amount of memory and processor your applications are taking is quite normal. You are 100% fine with all those running, there is no need to shut down any of them.
Try raising the size of your page file:

...And you think that's a lot of applications:

...And even 76 isn't that many in all cases.
-
ok im hona check that link out see if it makes my computer go a little better
-
I agree with Tuntis that there is not a lot running.
But I worry about the rundll32.exe. Try to do an online virus/spyware check to see if this is legit or not, could be a Trojan.
How mouch % of free space you have ?
Is the size of the swap file larger than your free space ?
Do you regularly defragment your file system ?
All these might help.
-
does does defragment do? never hear dof it might help me too :trust:
