    Command center has a ram leak, i would reinstall it from Dell's website.

    Also could you post a screen shot of your task manager so i can verify ? ( its a common issue)

    Did you click the "show processes from all users" button? Also try a power drain. I think someone else had this problem and that fixed it.

    You may be the only physical user but you still need to click the "Show processes from all users" buttons in order to see all the system processes.

    A power drain, if I remember rightly, is where you unplug the laptop, take the battery out, hold the power button for 20 seconds, then plug it all back in.

    No, I've got 2GB and it all runs smoothly.

    Hi,
    I had the same problem with slowing down after a few hours, then i noticed my CPU and memery use was trough the roof. If its the same problem i had (which sounds very alike) the problem was alienfusion was not working with windows 7 and trying to start up but getting stuck. Once i disabled fusion my CPU and memery returned to low levels.
    The fix was..
    Go to start, type services, click services and look for the aleinfusion line. change it from automatic to manual or disable. This will prevent the app starting up from boot and jaming up your system.
    Hope this helps, It fixed it for me.
