Thank you for your suggestion. I've looked up on the mem leakage and
Microsoft supposed to have a program called "Perfmon.exe" that
supposed to be able to help trace which program is leaking memory.

That Perfmon.exe program is supposed to be downloadable ... however I
just can't find it !

Can anyone point out where I can obtain such a program, please?

Don't know why there is no "garbage collection" ability built in in
XP. If so, all the mem leakage problems would be a piece of cake, for
the OS itself can free those mem that are no longer being use. ....
but I digress ...

Start | Run <type in>
perfmon.msc
<enter>

This is a performance graph used to find bottlenecks. It's not an easy
program to use, so you will need to read the help file (Hit F1) or you
will get a help file on how to use MMC.

Very quick start would be to Hit the + (or ADD) icon, then read all
the counters from each performance object.

But set up correctly you can find memory leaks, hogs, or those in need
of more.

You can run Perfmon.msc, it's found in the System32 directory.
It's Icon is located in the Administrative Tools.
You might need Admin access.

And it's Perfmon.MSC not Perfmon.EXE

Try perfmon.msc instead of perfmon.exe

Does the rendering programme use an Undo feature like you see in photo
editing programmes? What is the name of the programme you are using?

those programs are
designed for machines
with low resources.

No, those programs are designed for gullible, technically ignorant
people. Like registry cleaners, they're pure snake oil.

not really.

they serve and fulfill

one, they are utilities and
tools towards a more efficient
use of resources, and

two, they are utilities that
incite the ineffective use of
resources of whining geeks.

Windows will page no matter how much RAM you have. Are you talking
about a specific program?
