Windows 7 memory leak?
Hi there,
This is maybe the wrong section, but I did not know which one to pick:
I experience issues when I open directories with big HD movies in it (around 4-10GB). The media player loads fast (VLC, KMP, WMP) but the video never starts.
After 5-10 secs, my computer starts to run very slowly, I figured out that it was caused by page faults. Indeed, my memory usage goes from 10% to 97% (I have 4Gb, x64 WIN7) in 10secs.
Even though none of the process in the task manager shows a usage of 3.5Gb, I figured out that killing Explorer.exe releases the memory instantly.
This problem avoid me to play HD movies without killing explorer which is very anoying...
Does any one knows how can I deal with this issue?
Thank you!
