Hi all, After running a 'memory leak' program (eg. exe of a bad C++ prg), how could we get the the leak memory? Any software to do so? Thanks in advance

Your operating system should clean up all the memory a process allocates as soon as the process ends/is terminated.

I use FreeRamXP 1.52 - it is probably the most popular memory managment app. You can get it here - plus many other apps: http://majorgeeks.com/downloads26.html

@SebHoll: Yes, except unused allocated memory. @puki: Thank you for your recommendations.

CleanMem is also another very nice little program for this task. I use it to clear cached data from RAM when I need to re-run SQL queries over and over again, during the optimisation stages.
