available memory breakdown

[ricolee99]

Hi Everyone,

I hope this is the place to post my question. I think i may have a memory leak in one of my programs that i'm running, and i'm trying figure out which one it is (i'm on a network machine, so i have alot of background things running). So i'm looking at the task manager at the available memory and sure enough it fluctuates. Is there a program out there that i can download that will give me information as to how much available memory each of my individual programs are using?


Thank you

Rico

You should be able to see that in the processes tab in the taskmanager.

Hi KHP,

Is there a way to find to which process the available memory is being allocated at some given point in time?

What OS are you working on (even though this says windows 2000 central ;)

Are you looking to do this in code? (then state the OS)

Or are you looking for tools.

Try process explorer and other tools at

hi mick, i'm looking for a tool to examine processes on windows 2000 platform

btw, you've probably answered all my questions that i've posted, thanks again for all your help. :)

Hi,
I've never used ProcessExplorer; it may have already solved your problem. If not, you can use perfmon. Select performance object "process" and counter "private bytes". You can then select just the processes you care to monitor in the instance list, or all processes. One nice thing about perfmon is its graphing capability - large memory leaks will stick out.
