Why I'm Using too much RAM

[Flounderpa]

I have an ACER laptop with 160 HDD and 1GB Ram

And for some no good reson it Use 817MB aprox. of the fisical memory without havin any active window and no tasks except of the system usual

Checking the memory itself might not be a bad idea.  You can use this bootable program to do that:

if its a vista machine...that should explain most of it...but run a spyware/adware scan just to be sure.

What they said, but also, what kind of processor do you have and how fast is it?

[Flounderpa]

I'm Runing in a Celeron procesor, and yes it's Vista

Why thw new Windows make it so hard to use a low usage, I mean We live in a Technology Era and we need that space to drive some other things but, Why I need to use so much space on some things that I will not activate...

anyway I check for Spyware

How could I forget... "usual" isn't optimized at all. Try using msconifg (here's how) to shut off as many unecesary windows processes and services as you can.  Services are a part of windows and won't show up as running processes, so you can't see them normally.

Go through the lists of processes and services and look up each one of their hellishly cryptic names here or here and decide if it's worth running.

"cftmon" is for speech recognition.  Do I have speech recognition? No. "mnmsrvc.exe" is for NetMeeting.  Do I use NetMeeting?  NO. [Lewis Black voice]SO WHY IS WINDOWS LOADING IT?! [/Lewis Black voice]

It's tedious, but the payoff is big.  At work I made some literally unusable laptops useful again by doing this.

You still didn't tell me how fast your processor is. Also, Vista sucks. Get XP.

1: Intel Celeron 550

2: I will stick to Vista

1: Intel Celeron 550

That's... 550 MHz. What? That can't be right!

If it's the Celeron M 550, that's 2.0 GHz.  That's better, but not much better considering Vista's ridiculous appetite.
