[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1576157, member: 56379"] Those numbers are almost astronomical! They are way way way high. You need to restart/reboot your computer more often. Usually I reboot/restart my computer (with 4gig of ram) when those number are 1/3rd the size of yours. When you reboot/restart the computer...these numbers will be zero...and will build & build & build over time until the computer is rebooted/restarted again. For me...this means rebooting every 3-4 days...or at least once/week. But it really depends on the usage patterns of the user. Someone that uses their computer more than me...may need to reboot more often. Someone who uses their computer a lot less...may be able to go a month between reboots. Each user basically needs to keep an eye on these numbers...AND...associate the "speediness" of their computer to know when to reboot. Basically...when my "page-outs" get over 1.0-1.5 gig...it's time to reboot. - Nick [/QUOTE]
