It may be what is called "Memory Leak" The System
does not release Ram back to the user when a application is done. The only real way
to solve this, is
after doing a job witch uses lots of Ram is to reboot
This problem Microsoft is aware of but can't solve.
I have 512MB of ram and still run out when doing photo editing. Since windows does
not reconize Ram beyond 512MB My motto is reboot often.
