    Hi,

    I have Windows XP Pro, SP2, EI7.

    I just ran the Analysis & Device scan on Sandra Lite and it came up with a number of things I should fix. Some of them I was able to fix but I need some help with these others:

    21. Tip 1601 : iexplore : Program consumes a large amount of memory

    22. Warning : wmiprvse : Process no longer exists!

    I went into Computer Management -> Devices and clicked to update the drivers for all devices/subdevices but they have the most up-to-date drivers.

    If you could tell me where these settings are located for the problems that Sandra Lite found, how to get to them, and what settings they should be set to, I can pretty much get them fixed. If I can fix just a few, I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks . . . Denise
