Back in november I started having problems where if i didn't restart my
inspiron every few days i could only have a few programs open but after a
restart it would be fine. it has gotten worse and I had to start restarting
it everyday. I contacted Dell and they deleted temp files and that was it.
It is now where sometimes i have to restart it twice a day and then i still
have limited resources. I have 2 gig of ram. anyone know what is wrong?
 
Hi,

You probably have a program that is not releasing memory when terminated, or
an antivirus solution that is not running properly. Start by disabling your
av product and rebooting. See if the behavior stops. Otherwise, you can use
a combination of Windows Defender and msconfig to begin limiting that which
loads at boot to isolate the problem.
