I'm running WinXP Home on my laptop with 256M. I use a lot of image programs with large TIF files (~19-200M). The same thing happens on my desktop with 768M.
If I use one of the programs and then close it and open another, it acts as if the first program is open and still running and subsequent programs are either poky or don't run well at all. To date my only solution is to close all programs and reboot.
Is there a way in XP to close all programs, "zero" the memory so that I effectively get a reboot?
Some of the programs I'm running include Capture One (a RAW to TIF converter), Image Stacker (combines TIFFs), Corel Photo Paint, CorelDraw, Epson Printer Driver. All of these programs run snappily if they're the first to be opened after booting.
