About Memory Leak 
In a computer, a memory leak
takes place no sooner the program loses the potential
of freeing the memory. When you hear people conversing
about system resources you may think that what this
term actually means. Well, in simple words, the term
system resources denote RAM or memory. When your computer
is making use of system resources, it is generally windows
that are using memory for graphics, icons, fonts, open
programs and open windows. No sooner than you start
running programs they may use of all resources. For
instance, Microsoft office will claim a whole load of
memory the moment you open the program. If your computer
doesn’t have sufficient resources for running these
programs as well as other routine tasks then it may
stop working. Prior to getting to this stage, windows
will most likely issue certain warnings for notifying
you that the memory is low. Another thing that you may
notice is that the speed of your computer will slow
down. This results because of a memory leak.
When you try opening a program it will be slow to appear
or in worst case may not respond. Your system makes
use of random access memory as well as virtual memory
for its resources. A memory leak occurs
when your system runs short of RAM and experiences problems
like low virtual memory. If you want to resolve a memory
leak problem then make sure to run fewer programs at
the same time. You can also solve the memory
leak issue by disabling certain background
or preventing them from running automatically when you
start windows. You can access these with the help of
the start menu button. If you are using windows xp then
you can display resources that are in use through the
task manager. These points will help you fix memory
leak problem.
