RAM usage...HIGH??

[joenvr33]

I'm not a computer expert, but I do a little about them. My RAM is currently using 88% of the memory. This seems very high, considering i'm only running a couple programs. Is there something I should be doing??? i'm running on vista...obviously, i have an "older" couple years old laptop, but when i first installed it the RAM % used was never that high. how can i fix this? any help is appreciated thanks.

my computer specs:
Intel(R) CPU--T2300 @ 1.66GHz 1.67GHz
RAM: 1014MB

Hi joenvr33. Let's see what is running at startup. Go here (http://www.silentrunners.org/) and download Silent Runners.vbs to a new folder on your Desktop (Clicking the the download link works if you use IE. If you use FireFox, rightclick on the link and choose "Save Link As") and run it. It generates a log too. It takes a minute or two and it will notify you with a popup when your log is ready (make sure you wait for the popups please) Please post the information back in this thread too (you may need to make a couple of posts). If your antivirus program queries the script, allow it to run. It's not malicious.

well, im sorry to say, but even if you stop some more startup programs then 1 gig is still not quite enough to run vista very well. have you tried turning off indexing? check out the vista tweaks thread at the top of the vista forum. it should help you save some more memory.

[joenvr33]

ok, I ran the program, and i just wanted to make sure before i posted all this information, that there isn't anything that's going to make my computer vulnerable to anything??? thanks.

[cougar62]

all this program does is show us what programs run when you start windows. there shouldnt be any personal or sensitive info shown in the post.

[joenvr33]

Great, thanks. Here is the information:

I'm not positive, but i have read somethings about "Groove" and how it slows computers down and uses a lot of CPU. Could that be the problem, i just saw that looking at this startup list???

[AnnMarie]

Do you have Groove installed? The "Groove Folder Synchronization" menu in explorer is from Office 2007.

What have you disabled using msconfig?

Your Silent Runners log is not complete. Can you run it again please and wait for the popup that tells you the log is ready before posting it.

[joenvr33]

Yes, I have it "unchecked" in (startup) on msconfig. And here is the rest of the report, sorry didn't realize the whole thing wasn't pasted.

If you have disabled Groove from running at startup, it's not likely to be causing your problem and your Silent Runners log looks fine.

Boot into Safe Mode (restart your computer and tap F8 continuously as it restarts). Is the RAM usage still high?

[joenvr33]

I booted in safemode and the RAM usage was significately LOWER. Using around 28%. Much better than 60-80% So what does this mean???

[AnnMarie]

That's what you should see because your startups and some services are not running. I needed to make sure that this was not a hardware issue. If you only have 1GB of RAM, 60% of your RAM being utilized is not excessive however 80% is a bit on the high side.

Clean boot troubleshooting should help you isolate any resource hog. See here (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135/) for more information.

[joenvr33]

Thanks AnnMarie, you have been a great help!! I'll let you know how things go with the "clean boot".

[AnnMarie]

You are welcome joenvr33. :)

A bit tedious but instead of disabling half of your startups, if you disable the lot and then put them back one at a time with a reboot in between, you will get a better idea of how much RAM each startup consumes. :)
