    Can you guys check how much memory is Sidebar.exe using in Windows Vista? Mine's gone berserk!

    A couple of days ago, a message popped up saying that I'm running out of memory. I checked and Sidebar.exe whalloped 380+MB of virtual memory. :nuts:

    Today, I received the same error message. This time, Sidebar.exe took up almost 800MB of virtual memory! :nuts:

    Needless to say, I killed Sidebar off.

    sidebar is a memory hogger. SP2 is suppose to fix that i think.

    Funny, I only have a clock and currency conversion widgets and it's taking up so much memory.

    Oh, you upgraded to SP2 already?

    Kinda waste of memory though... since I don't usually see the desktop until I shut down or restart the computer. :haha: :haha:
