disappearing RAM problem
my RAM has been slowly decreasing since lsat week. i've had 7.80 gigs of RAM. then it went down to 5.45 gigs, and then kept going down. i used SDFix and it fixed the problem immediately and got all the RAM back. but every 3 days or so, the problem comes back. i use SDFix again and the problem goes away but then returns. what should i do? how do i locate the problem. thanks

Are you meaning hard drive space?
Download TreeFile or WinDirStat to see where your disk space is going.

Take a look at your Documents and Settings folder. 96+ GB? Seems like one heck of a large amount.
