Hello,

I have win xp, sp2 with 256MB RAM. When opening 3 or 4 memory-hungry
programs simultaneusly, as expected, everything slows down, specially when
switching to background programs. I have noticed, however, that if I close
all the programs the computer still remain slow until I reboot: Desktop
re-draws slowly, programs open and operate slowly, etc.

Is this a common problem for XP? Is there a way re order the memory without
rebooting?

Thanks

Guillermo Scharffenorth
