When i'm almost idle on my pc with just some apps running, my computer seems to take sooo much ram up, take a look at the screen shots. Anyone know how to fix this or whats wrong?

I see, said the blind man....

either way, the pics aren't working for me either

EDIT: Copy the link of the picture to the address bar and it shows up.

You have way too many things running. Also you have to consider that the graph show Pagefile, NOT actual ram usage. Your screenshot does show that almost 340MB of actual ram are being used though.

On a normal day, I have 36 processes running, you have 56!!! Try to cut it down and your usage will dwindle. BTW you have a bunch of Spyware/Adware running.

go to start then select RUN type in MSCONFIG and press enter...a screen should pop up then you should click the startup tab where all the progs start up....the deselect all that is checked and then restart and see what that does..you probaly have adware eating at your RAM...
