The garbage collection routines in XP will eventually recover the RAM unless
it is an extremely poorly written program. A reboot will force the issue.
>From your description of the problem it sounds like the real problem is you
do not have enough RAM to start with. RAM recovery programs are snakeoil and
not worth using. They invariably use more resources than they free up and
cause many problems with other programs. In earlier versions of Windows
memory managers were sometimes useful. In Windows XP they are a waste of
time.
