how can i stop aspnet_wp.exe from using so much memory, it hanges and stops the websites.
 
Does it have a memory leak when sitting idle (not serving pages), or when serving pages?

I doubt it has a leak while idle, but just in case, I would check the MSDN knowledgebase for info.

If it has a leak while serving pages, are these your pages or one of the default sites that comes with IIS?

I would write a small app that runs on another machine that spiders the default pages for a day or two, and watch the memory consumption.

If the memory leak is being caused by your pages, then I would try and narrow it down to which page by using perfmon to monitor memory usage and garbage collection cycles.
