Well, i wasnt having a problem with Vista at all for a while, but I started playing a game called Last Chaos, and.. having a integrated video card, and the system using or "storing the memory" or whatever it does lol.. but i started playing the game and with having the memory being stored for other things, its putting the system usage up to ~1.1 gig with running the game and after a while it crashes. I had no problem with the game on my old computer (though it didnt have a integrated video card..) which probably part of the problem im having. As for nlite, ty for the heads up. Also, I have used msconfig, and turned off alot of the preinstalled, and installed things that i have installed, turned them off. (which is how i got down to 500 as it used to be ~700 )
