Hi,

I'm running Windows XP Professional SP2, up-to-date with Windows Updates.

I've recently noticed that my non-paged kernel memory is leaking at a
steady
pace of 10Mb+/day. If I don't reboot my machine every few days, it
eventually
and inevitably grinds to a halt, forcing me to reboot it.

By searching on the web, I realized I needed to run poolmon.exe to debug
the
leak, which I did. The output of poolmon clearly shows that the leaking
tag
is 'Proc'. But what is 'Proc'? I have no idea.

Can someone please explain to me what the 'Proc' tag means, and how I can
use that information to track down the cause of the leak?

Thanks!
Sam

The Windows Task Manager might tell you.
