Hello

I have 512Mb RAM, but in Windows Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del /
performance)
I see I have only 165 Mb 'available' physical memory. There are a lot
of
processes running which I assume are gobbling up the rest.

One of the biggest is CCapp.exe which is Norton Internet Security
(NIS). I
could gain 20 Mb by shutting it down, but I can't. If I click 'End
process' in Task Manager I get a message telling me it cannot be shut
down. I can't find a way of shutting it down from inside NIS either.

Does anyone know how to close down CCapp temporarily ?

I think you would be very unwise to even try to shut down NISunless you are
not connected to the internet. You would probably have to close the running
programme in the task bar first - that's the way with Norton AntiVirus, then
shut down ccapp. ou could also shut down live update too

What you really need to find out is why ccapp is using 20mb of RAM? I just
checked mine and it is using 1,212k

With RAM memory being as cheap as it is, I'd opt for a another 512mb RAM, at
under 30 quid these days, it would be safer and a lot easier!
