Hello,
I have written an application which needs a lot of RAM space (atleast 16MB) as there is a lot of I/0 and display features involved.
The program works fine in systems with 128MB of RAM but gives me a problem with lower memory systems.I used the norton utilities system doctor and found out that only 5 MB of Physical RAM is available when my system (32MB)starts.
Is there any way for me to clear the processes running by default on my system and put them temporarily on the swap file or maybe halt them until my program is running, the reason being that I can have more space for my program in the physical RAM.
Also please let me know some good resources for understandig the process and memory management under windows.
I use the core WIN32 API to program and if you could also tell me a few API's which will come to my help it will be great for me,
Thanks and regards
Mark

No.

On Windows NT/2000, if you want to ask the system for fixed memory, look at the VirtualXxxx functions (VirtualAlloc, VirtualLock, etc.). This allows you to allocate memory and lock it into physical memory. I'm not aware of any way to do this under Windows 9x, though you may have some luck with the same method.

Thanks Sir,
I will try those functions and see if it is possible to get my work done. Is there some API which tells us the Process Id's of all the proceses running in the systsem,I jusy want to know the process Id of the proceses running on my system.
Please lemme know
Thanks and regards

Look up the EnumProcesses() API function.
