    Exactly what is Windows 7's task manager showing in the memory usage column? It's clearly not the amount of memory being used by the program, since there's no way WinXP mode only uses 15 MB of memory.

    expand the number of columns shown and look at the other memory readings.

    Or stop using task manager completely and use the process monitor and vmmap tools from sysinternals.
