Memory Leak Windows 7

So this happened a while back and was fixed. As of three days its back. My 15G of memory get slowly eaten away as long as POE is on until i get a low memory message. It clears by shutting POE down but this is not a solution. Why is this problem back?

the maximum amount of memory a 32 bit process can allocate is 4GByte (search for "Memory and Address Space Limits").

can you give more information, maybe a screenshot of the task manager with the respective advanced settings or proexp.exe from microsoft?

additionally the previous mem leak was due to a win prog running in the background in win10.

so your problem is kind of new?

On 64 bit Windows 7, unless the image has been compiled with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE, a 32 bit user mode process has a 2GB address space. If the image has been compiler with the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE flag, the address space is 4GB. However, as far as I know and I'm pretty sure Chris mentioned this somewhere, the PoE binaries don't have this flag set.

As far as the memory leak is concerned, you should try and do some logging. As Windows already has Perfmon built in, you could use that. Start by looking at the Process memory counters, perhaps create a log whilst you're playing.
its is 64 bit I am running. Running windows perform so I can update. Ill also screenshot task manager when it eats all the memory.

Unfortunately, the image doesn't provide any additional information. If you waat to use Task Manager to monitor processes, you'll need to add some additional columns, such as Handles and GDI objects etc., but you'll be better of using perfmon, xperf or at the very least, use Resource Monitor withing Task Manager.
