I do a lot of programming and handle large datasets and it really pisses me off when a program uses up all the memory or processor. It cripples the computer and makes it useless for minutes on and sometimes I have to shut it down. Is there a wat to set a maximum limit on memory and processor use? And the task manager is pretty dumb. The times I need to use it it doesn=E4t respond either. Shouldn't it override everything and always be callable? Isn't that kind of the point? |

No - if you need precise control over Memory and CPU usage you will need to use Windows System Resource Manager - a capability of Windows Server 2008 or a download for Windows Server 2003. The client operating systems such as Vista do not have such a feature - you can however alter a processes priority and affinity (which CPU cores it runs on) from within Task Manager - This may be sufficient for your needs (if you have a multi core system). -- Mike Brannigan "process" <circularfunc@gmail.com> wrote in message news:4d737700-af40-4e3f-b9b1-989963b25afb@a70g2000hsh.googlegroups.com...
