Windows 7 Memory Use

I gather from past questions that there is an issue with Windows 7 memory use, which relates to typically around 100 processes running. To try to overcome problems with an image processing application (Serif PhotoPlus X7) randomly quitting, which
Serif Tech Support claimed was due to my 4gb RAM laptop (Lenovo G780) not having enough available memory, I upped the physical memory to 8gb, but the processes seemed to have upped their use. I'm looking at Task Manager Performance tab. The
figure on the bottom right is 24% - is that figure the amount of physical memory available? Or the amount being used? If it's use, and I have 76% available then I'm in good shape. But if it's memory available, then I am only about 0.5gb better
off after adding 4gb, and if so what can I do about that?

What operating system are you using (32/64 Bit) ?
Based system supports 32-bit memory and any such condition requires 64-bit to get full support for all memory.
You can check this by right mouse button on My Computer and choose Properties. Searching for a few bits registered.

I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work, I don't know how to "unparticion" the memory I gave to Boot Camp, and Boot Camp "vanished", help...

I tried installing Windows 7 using Boot Camp, but it didn't work.
Although it didn't work, the memory is still divided. So I looked for Boot Camp in aplications, but it literally vanished...
So I tried downloading it again, but I only found EXE files... they don't work on my MacBook Pro...
It's very new... Bought it recently...
Please... I need help to unparticion memory back to original Mac HD and install Boot Camp...
Thanks...

Below is the paragraph from the instructions. Follow it exactly and then report what happens at each stage.
How you remove Windows from your computer depends on whether you installed
Windows on a second disk partition or on a single-volume disk.
If you installed Windows on a second disk partition: Using Boot Camp Assistant as
described below, remove Windows by deleting the Windows partition and restoring
the disk to a single-partition Mac OS X volume.
If your computer has multiple disks and you installed Windows on a disk that has only one
partition: Start up in Mac OS X and use Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder, to reformat it
as a Mac OS X volume.
To delete Windows and the Windows partition:
1 Start up in Mac OS X.
2 Quit all open applications and log out any other users on your computer.
3 Open Boot Camp Assistant.
4 Select “Remove Windows 7,” and then click Continue.
5 Do one of the following:
a If your computer has a single internal disk, click Restore.
b If your computer has multiple internal disks, select the disk with Windows on it,
and then select “Restore to a single Mac OS partition” and click Continue.

Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

Hi,
I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
So, I have two problems:
1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
SGA (M)
Shared Pool=104
Buffer Cache=960 ***
Large Pool=0
Java Pool=64
Total SGA=1128
SGA Max Size=1321

*** When I change this to 2048 the database did not start.
Thank you.

CREATE SPFILE
Purpose
Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
See Also:
CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
Prerequisites
You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
Syntax
create_spfile::=
Text description of create_spfile
Semantics
spfile_name
This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
See Also:
"Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
pfile_name
Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
Note:
In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
Examples
Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
CREATE SPFILE
FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
Note:
Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
STARTUP
The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
spfile = 's_params.ora'
The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

Windows 8 booted up high memory used

Just got this Samsung series 9 with Windows 8, 8 GB memory and 256 GB SSD drive. When the system boots up, go into Task Manager. The initial memory is at 13% used, after about 30 seconds. It surged all the way to 75% used while I am watching. I have tried
to look what is running but can't figure out what were using all the memory.
I was trying to run many programs to see how high it can go but don't have programs to test it, the most I could try (opening many browsers) the memory went up to 92%. Not sure it would crash if I have more programs running.
Here is the screenshot. (screenshot is not allowed to post until verified) How do I get verified?
Is windows 8 designed to cache a lot of memory right after reboot? I saw other posting with memory used about 40% so it doesn't looks normal to me. I Googled but can't find a similar issue.
Thanks in advance.

Windows 7 memory use - CS-4 question

My XP machine is maxed out with 2 gig of chip memory (AMD dual core). Please, no laughing. It does run Photoshop CS 4 at an acceptable speed with 500 meg. PSD pictures.
Apparently, there is a way to set up the system drive to dual boot to Windows 7 or XP with a "virtual hard drive" set up. How much less memory does Windows 7 use as compared with XP Home?
With the early order half price for 7 Professional, it might be a way to give Photoshop some more memory (5%, 10%, 15%,?%) without having to get a new mother board and new memory chips at a far lower price.
I am using Photoshop in a non-work environment. My full time job, hasn't given me a pay raise, in the last 8 years, that matched the increase in health insurance cost, I am willing to accept less than optimal performance boost at an affordable price. And, as I'm paying off a month old Epson 3800, every little bit of savings helps.
I am aware that I might/will have to reinstall Photoshop under this set-up. That doesn't present any problem.
Thank you,
Bill

Zeno Bokor,
Your statement concerning Windows 7 reducing system memory use as chip memory decreases implies that the memory management is improved and that there would be more available for high memory use applications. It may not be much, but any extra would be an improvement. With a dual boot system, I would think that some services could posibly be turned off if only one program was to be run under that OS.
While Photoshop may not care about memory specifications, I suspect that, with faster chips, at least some actions it carries out do perform faster if there is sufficient memory to carry out the operation in memory, rather than in swap file. I am sure that the operating system does. I have done all the "boosting" I can do with three physical drives. One of which can be called Photoshop swap file dedicated. The machine certainly ran CS a lot faster than the one it replaced. CS-2, through 4 were installed only on this machine.
I know that more memory is very good. However, without a new mother board, I can not increase the memory in my system. That mother board must, for current financial reasons, be able to use the chips I already have as well as have additional open slots. Any Photoshop performance gain, from more chip memory, will have to be put off for an unknown time period.
This leaves me where I am now. That is: looking for a small gain in performane (available memory), with a different OS, that would carry over when I upgrade the hardware. The half price pre-release price is affordable. A new MB and additional chips, for about a year, is not.

High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser

High memory use when checking downloads folder through browser.
I have a total of 3 DDR2 Gbytes of ram. Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4500 @ 2.30GHz Win 7 home pr. 64bit. Firefox 27.0 beta
I right click on a file to "open containing folder" from the drop down menu in downloads.
When the folder has been opened, explorer is trying to index the folder (which it never does completely or well after 5 minutes I close the folder and shut down the dllhost process cause laptop is blazing hot) and memory keeps increasing till no more is available.
I checked task manager and see that dllhost is the particular process that is causing the spike in memory usage even after closing the folder I right click and stop the process and memory is restored after awhile.

How can I install Mac Mini drivers for Windows 7 32-bit if I didn't install Windows 7 using bootcamp?

Hello. I have a mac-mini (mid 2010) and with bootcamp, was successfully running XP.
I then decided to upgraded to Windows 7 had lots of trouble installing it on my existing bootcamp partition.
I finally was able to install Windows 7, by just booting off the CD and letting it install that way.
But reading more on it, I think I was supposed to use Bootcamp to do it for me...
I had thought the Bootcamp Assistant was for only fresh installs of a Windows O.S. where no partitiion existed previously.
I had a partition so thought Bootcamp wasn't required for my needs.
But now, inside Windows 7, I have 0 drivers installed. I have an AirPort Express, so on the Mac side, I downloaded
and installed the Windows version of AirPort Utility and copied it to my USB stick. Then
I exported my settings to a text file on a USB Stick, then on Windows was able to successfully install AirPort Utility and import the settings.
But it still doesn't find my network. I am pretty sure I'm broadcasting my SSID...
So I need to know the following:
1) How to know I'm broadcasting my SSID - where do I find this in settings?
2) How I can install my mac-mini drivers on Windows 7 so I can use my existing wireless network, now that I've gone through the installation without using Bootcamp?
3) Do I need to set up network adapters and all that stuff in Windows 7 first? If so, how and what drivers do I need?
One other thing I tried was downloading Bootccamp 4.x and installing that on Windows 7 to see if it gives me the drivers that were supposed to be written to my USB stick if I had installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp in the first place... However I think the message it said was that it couldn't install as it was the wrong version. So I'm still stuck without drivers and therefore no internet.
And that is my main task - getting the Internet up and running in Windows 7.
Other Info:
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 2 GB of memory.
I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 7 and I don't know what version of Bootcamp I'm running...
I can tell you that BootCamp Assistant is v3.0.4, but don't know if that means Bootcamp is also 3.0.4.
Hope you can help.
Thanks.

I tried something that worked for me...
Knowing that after my install of Windows 7 wasn't the correct method (didn't go through bootcamp), and the BootCamp 4.x package wouldn't install under windows 7, I tried reinstalling Bootcamp 4.x in Windows 7 to see what the exact message was it gave me. The message said it couldn't install because of a 32-bit O.S. vs a 64-bit version of the package.
So that got me thinging - my XP version was 32-bit, and so is my Windows 7 installation. So I tried installing the bootcamp that came with my Mac OS X installation CD. This is bootcamp version 3.1.
Not only did it install, but it practically took care of everything driver-wise for me. I was then able to see my wireless network, enter my password and I was connected. The only thing else I had to do to get on the Internet was bring IE8 online (guess it ships offline by default). Firewall and Antivirus are now installed, just a few more things to go.
That's one thing that's just not clear that I'll be sure to note for next time... The Bootcamp packages you download are actually driver packages for Windows. That is where the Windows drivers exists that are necessary to make your Windows 7 PC work on a bootcamp partition!
I didn't need the AirPoirt Utility at all (at least, I never went into it).
Thanks VikingOSX for your post. I will not need to follow the steps you provided, but they may help someone else as all of these bootcamp issues I've been reading seem to be very unique per installation.
Hopefully my solution helps others.

CFMX 6.1's Virtual Memory Use problem!!

I appologise for the long post in advance...
Ok... so I have this script that, using cfdirectory, will
check a directory for any files that may have been uploaded, if
there are files, it loops through the results and reads the files
one at a time, line by line, using the FileReader.cfc (Uses the
Java FileInputStream, InputStreamReader, and BufferedReader to
provide a way to incrementally read large files). The files are
just pipe "|" delimited data, each line represents a record for a
db table.
Now as it's reading each line, it will perform some basic
string parsing to clean up the file line to make sure the data is
valid, blah blah blah and then it will write that "cleaned" line to
another file using FileWriter.cfc (Java component once again). Once
it's completely done reading the original file, it will close it
and it will open the new "cleaned" version of the file, read it
(FileReader.cfc), create an INSERT statement and then update the
database table.
Now... this all works GREAT... until it has to loop through
more than a few files... 3 - 4 files are NO problem! works like a
charm, but throw 6 - 8 files at it and it dies, not a timeout mind
you but an actual "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" (now, I've tried
making all the files exactly the same (just changed the name) and
the weird thing is, it takes longer and longer to process each as
it goes through the loop... I have the script write some stats as
it's looping:
FILE 1 STATS
Name: COA0607_Intranet1.DAT
Status: Import Successfull
Line Count: 32,971
Processing Time: 74,237ms
FILE 2 STATS
Name: COA0607_Intranet2.DAT
Status: Import Successfull
Line Count: 32,971
Processing Time: 82,018ms
FILE 3 STATS
Name: COA0607_Intranet3.DAT
Status: Import Successfull
Line Count: 32,971
Processing Time: 94,476ms
FILE 4 STATS
Name: COA0607_Intranet4.DAT
Status: Import Successfull
Line Count: 32,971
Processing Time: 145,108ms
I know what you guy are probably thinking; "Woah man... CF
isn't really meant to do that kind of processing...", I know, trust
me I know... however, I really neeeeeed it too lol.
Ok, so as the script is running, I watch the Virtual Memory
use of jrun.exe, processing say 3 - 4 of these files brings up the
usage to approx 300,000k which yes, is a LOT but that's fine...
this process is meant to run at night via a Scheduled Task...
When I run more than 4 files, things start to get ugly, keep
in mind that these are EXACTLY the same files just re-named
differently. The script will start lagging BIG time and on the last
file (usually the last file) I'll see the memory usage spike from
350,000K all the way up to 600,000K and that's when it throws the
"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" and dies... I've tried commenting out
the part of the script that updates the db, but still get the same
problem...
So... what gives? How come CF Server does this??? I mean, it
runs fine for the first few files... and then WAM, it dies... sorry
for the long post... any insight here is VERY much appreciated...
it would be AWESOME if the wonderful folks at Adobe could shed some
light on this for me : )

Multitouch drivers for Windows 8 using Bootcamp?

Macbook Pro
Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013
Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB
Is there any drivers that will enable multitouch on Windows 8 using bootcamp? The problem I often run into occurs when I attemp to click with one finger and move a file with another finger. On OSX this works flawlessly making it so simple to move around files.

Did you download and install the Windows Support software in accordance with the Boot Camp instructions? If so, you have a Boot Camp Control Panel icon ion your Windows task bar. Open the control panel and set your trackpad options how you want them configured.

Memory use imac 8.1 core 2 duo 32 bit.

Hello I have an imac 8.1 at work that is currently on 10.6.7 with 4gb of ram. (First time actually work working with macs) I need to use Vmware fushion to run a program for a co worker. (win 7) However as this mac is older it's bogging it down. I have reset the memory allocation still to slow. My question is do 32 bit machines for mac still have the memory cap as windows xp did or can I swap out some memory to 8gb? If not does lion support greater memory addressing? I'm wondering how macs treat VM's as an application or as an actual virtual machine so the address spacing is different.

That model can accommodate up to 6 GBs of RAM. If you want optimum performance get rid of Fusion and install Parallels which is generally much faster with Windows applications.
Also be careful with configuring the VM. Do not allocate any more than 1/2 of the installed RAM. Since the iMac model you have is only a Core 2 Duo model limit the processor cores for the VM to one. Windows' memory cap issues are Windows, not the Mac's.
That machine would not be better off running Lion as far as the VM is concerned. You are limited by fact that you can only allocate one core to the VM.

Why is my MacMini 6.1 always so high in Memory Used?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out why my MacMini keeps running slowly... I think it's to do with Memory Used, but I'm only guessing.

How to deallocate memory used by the labview program?

Hi,
I have bulit a large application in labview 2012 that uses a couple of subvis, local and global variables, some uninitialized shift registers (functional global variables) and some c++ and .net dlls as well. When I open my application the memory usage shown at Windows task manager is around 1.4GB. After running the application and enabling all processes used in the application, the memory usage goes up to 1.55GB but when i stop the application, memory is never released/deallocated until i close the application plus exit labview. Can you suggest how to deallocate this memory? and how can i use the request deallocation function for this application? labview help says i have to place it inside a subVI for which i want to deallocate memory. But i have a lot of subVIs used in my application. I tried placing it in the top level VI and called it after stopping all processes but it didn't work... I am also closing references to all of the .net dlls at the end. Any workarounds??
Thanks

You already got some good advice. One thing that was not clear was how you are measuring memory. Since the task manager is capable of showing the memory used by LabVIEW alone (you simply need to look elsewhere), and you said that the memory gets released when you exit LabVIEW, you gave the impression that the 1.4GB was the LabVIEW portion.
OK, so a couple of hundred MB used by LabVIEW is really nothing to worry about. Are you running into memory or other performance problems? What are the symptoms?

We really need to see some code. It is very well posssible that you have a lots of unecessary data copies in memory due to sloppy programming. How big are the data structures? Do you use local variables for big data structures? What does the program actually do?

About the amount of hard disk memory used during Testdrive installation

Dear all,
I have a question about installing SAP Netweaver Testdrive on Redhat Linux Enterprise 5.3. Currently I have a virtual machine (sun virtualbox) where Windows Vista is host and the guest operating system is RHLE 5.3 (32 bit). For doing several tests I would like to install the Testdrive on this linux system. Yet, the total available virtual hard disk memory is about 15 GB and I have already used more than 6GB.
Is there any way to specify the amount of hard disk memory used by Netweaver once it installs DB2 on the system? Because as it seems to me it takes more than 15 GB just for the database. But I'm not sure whether the whole space is really needed, particularly in my case where the aim of use is just for ABAP development and tests (for self-training).
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Dariyoosh

Hi,
You can refer the specific installation guide for the minimum disk space requirement.
Whatever functionality you use you need minimum space as mentioned in the installation guide.
You can configure slightly more memory than given in the installation guide to be safer.
