[dba-Tech] 1 GB Ram - but what is it?

How nice that the DOS commands I used 30 years ago are still under that
sophisticated GUI. Now that's software with LEGS! :) 

But not too informative - no RAM size so I cant tie it to what I'm seeing in
the task manager.

I'll try What's Running...well that just tells me that all the svchost.exe
belong to MS Windows Operating System.

Well, I don't have the big svchost problem at the moment. And it's Miller
Time. :)

Rocky,

Try typing tasklist /svc in a dos prompt, that may help.

In Windows 8 you can click on the drop down in front of the svchost, and I
think the freeware 'what's running' will show you as well

Looking at my task manager I have a svchost.exe process that's taking 1.0
-1.3 GB RAM Any way to find out what it is?

There's a bunch of the svchost.exe processes but smaller - 13 of them
ranging from 2 to 40 MB in size.  Who are they?

I just terminated the big one.  Everything seems OK so far.

Rocky
