    For those running the latest Prevx1, how much ram is it using? My PXagent is running at 37meg and just stays there....

    From what I have read, that sounds high.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    According Windows Task Manager / Processes
    PXAgent.exe 836 K
    PXConsole.exe 13860 K
    But I have no idea, if this is good or bad and it changes all the time, which is very frustrating to give people exact numbers.

    PXConsole.exe 3428 k

    I hope that helps you.

    It's likely that you've got another program with a memory leak. What happens when you reboot? At what point does it get that high? It's hard to give any real advice without further details about the issue and your system.
