    Task Manager Wrong?


    I've tried googling this but haven't seen anything like it. Sorry if this has already been addressed.

    BIOS reports 4GB of memory

    System info reports 4GB of memory


    Task Manager reports 2GB of memory


    BOOT Advance Options (under msconfig) does not have max memory check box checked


    Any ideas?

    Down load and check Ram on Process explorer, If that shows the correct total, you are OK.
    Process Explorer - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com
    If process explorer shows the correct amount of RAM, Task Manager may be corrupt.
    Try an SFC scan
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Although written for XP here is an excellent explanation of RAM usage

I've created a task in the Task Scheduler. It's supposed to run a particular BAT file every night at 4:00. The file runs fine when executed in a console. What it does is simple enough: start robocopy to copy any changed files to a network drive. Because it is a network drive I cannot use...
