OK When I keep my system on for more than a day or so the WU start getting really high to near 15 hours I rebooted today and then it started lowering alot now it went from 15:20 to like 14hrs and still lowering.

System is much smoother now, do you think it can be Windows?

I'm currently using no swap/paging file as I have 512ram.

Yeah it sounds like a memory leak or something of that nature, but tell us more about what OS and hardware etc. 98 and ME are bad about needing frequent reboots to keep the work environment clean up - at least once or twice a week for optimum performance.

As you are using Win XP Pro you should have so much problems.....I use Win 98 SE in my work PC and usually reboot once a week when the system crashes :) But my SETI times are constant all those days. Try to defrag your HD and maybe go to some hardware store where they can have your memory tested for errors.
