Displaying process memory
Needed, a display listing W98SE running processes and the actual memory
usage for each, in real time. This seems easy, but I have tried various versions of Process Explorer, all display memory in default settings in W2K, not one of them display memory in W98SE. I know memory display is not inhibited, as Aida system analysis utility shows memory after digging through several screens, Memload does the same after several selections. I'm looking for a small freeware no-install utility that when opened, directly displays process and memory as above, no extra screens to get to the display. In the past years when I used W98SE, I don't recall this being an issue, but now, in a very basic OS installation, I can't get this display. ms |

... Needed, a display listing W98SE running processes and the actual memory usage for each, in real time. There is no such utility because: 1. Memory usage varies with data file size as well as application size. A 10-minute MP3 requires more memory than a 5-minute MP3. 2. Windows is set up to handle memory needs automatically via the swap file i.e. "Virtual Memory." Use of the swap file varies inversely with the availability of RAM (chip) memory. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Don, I understand about usage of memory. My question is about displaying the memory used, whatever it is. As I mentioned, several utilities do show the data indirectly. There must be a simple utility that displays it directly. ms |
