- By any chance are you running an After Dark screen saver, in particular the
- new Star Trek After Dark screen saver. It has known memory leaks which
- eventually use up most available memory.
-
- If so try uninstalling it, just shutting it off doesn't stop the problem,
- it needs to be taken off disk and out of the *.ini files.
