alps pointing-device driver??

well i got my new thinkpad R61 and ive gotten rid of everything i could at startup but it still seems like i have alot of processes running. i added a two gig stick right after i got the computer and that did seem to help quite a bit.

the main thing im posting the thread for is because for some reason after the computer has been up and running for a while the Apoint.exe in the taskmanager keeps eating memory. ive seen it get up to 100k but when it first starts its only like 2k and it just keeps expanding from there. ive tried to end the process and the trackpad still works but i cant scroll on the edge.

i am just wondering if this is a normal thing or whats going on. ive searched google for other issues with this process but i havnt found anything. i just dont know why it uses so much memory after the computer has been running for a while. if i take it anywhere i use hibernation so i dont have constantly shut down and restart windows.

i really appreciate anyones comments or if they have the same process using so much memory.

 

is this a memory leak or is it normal? when i started windows it was at 1700kb now its up to 8600kb after about only an hour or so and it will keep using more and more memory :\

 

does anyone know anything about this??? it just seems wierd that it uses so much memory after being on for a while. i dont want to restart all of the time i like to just use hibernation so i dont have to wait for it to start everything up. i think that hibernation is alot faster then booting from the start.

 

well im still wondering about this
*BUMP!*

 

Can Anyone Give Me A Reason Why This Processes Keeps Using More And More Memory. Its Really Bothering Me I Would Appreciate If Someone Can Give Me Some Advice On This Problem

 

still wondering about this BUMP

 

Memory leak
