Does anyone know of a program that can show me the memory of programs that's running in the back ground? I'm using WinXP.

Hmm, I'm wondering if you've looked full at the Task Manager in XP (Ctrl-Alt-Del). You can set it to show all processes from all users, and you can customize the information it shows. (via "View" menu > "Select Columns...").

If you really want to see what a process is doing in depth, then I recommend Process Explorer (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml) from Sysinternals Freeware pages (http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml).

Yes I looked at the task manager in XP. It don't show how much memory the program is taking up in MB. I don't know how to convert K into MB. :)

Hello,

1 MB = 1 KB*1024*1024 = 1048576 KB

Memload will show free/maximum physical and swapfile memory.
....... displays per process memory..in MB when applicable.. shows you everything that's running and loaded into memory (both physical and swap file).
