ok, iexplore taking 30Mb, why is internet explorer open at the moment? teamtimer at time, taking 40MB, w3wp(this is iis) it taking 100MB, just under, I think you are not using mysql, you can stop this service and save almost 13MB RAM.
on terminal services, if you ever login, remember to go to Start, shutdown, Log Off, or Start, log off, close any open apps, as each one running takes RAM.
I've got no idea why Iexplore is reporting it is open, because its not, nor was it at the time that I captured that process list. Which is intresting.
Teatimer. Fair point. I will uninstall it. I installed it as it was suggested to me as a good way of monitoring if the failures were been caused by malicous software, which to me seemed palusable given its seeminly random nature. It should be mentioned though, that the reason I installed that software to try and get to the bottom of the problems and they were occuring before teatimer was installed.
I have stopped mysql several times now, as you say I am not using it, I've got no idea why it is running again. I will stop it once more.
Even so Stephen, those values come no were near from what I can see to the maximum RAM on the account, which is why I keep suggesting that something may be misconfigured. The answer seems to be to keep throwing more RAM at the problem, which is great that you are good enough to do that for free, however it seems just to max out everytime you do this. I appreciate you have thrown more RAM at it again, however I would bet with good money that in a couple of weeks, despite not installing anything I will get my old friend "Internal Server Error" again.
I aplogise for the server comment, it was actually meant light heartedy, but I can see how it has been taken another way. Also you mention I make "snippy" comments, but I look back at my posts and I think I have been pretty pacient, I even left a lengthy complimentary post when you kindly helped sort out the database problems, which I appreciate were nothing directly to do with Jodohost. You may be getting frustrated, but think what its like for me, who is trying to get a sucessful website together but is instead been met with consistent and differing IT issues - I have been with Jodohost, both on VPS and your shared accounts, for a fair time now, however I can't think of a time were I have gone much over two months without some issue cropping up. That is very frustrating. I am far from IT inept, I use to work in IT support although that did not give me experience at running a full blown web server, I hate to think what a person without an IT background would deal with all this?
Anyway, I will have a good look through the server again tonight, much to my wifes distain
D ) and see if I can see places to "trim" down further but I get a strong feeling we will be here again in a month or so, if not sooner.
