Windows don't release memory !!!

[micman]

Im being developing an application on a machine

AMD - Athlon 1900MHz, 128MB RAM, Windows '98

The problem is that when i run the SysMon 'System Monitor' and observe the Memory > Reserved Memory, it goes up about 50MB when i run the application but it doesn't drop at all when i close the application.

When i run the program again it says there is not enough memory and Crashes !!!!

NOTE: I've tweeked Windows to directly unload any DLLs and other code when it is not used, so it should release the memory.

Thanks ...

Looks like you just discovered one of the many flaws in Win9x! Resource management is extremely poor to begin with, and when you throw in an app that causes a memory leak, then you're just compounding the problem.

Search on google.com for "virtual memory" and you'll find some suggestions on how to tweak it even further. However, for better management, consider upgrading to an NT system like XP or 2000.
