Pocket Windows 2003 - 32 processes maximum

Hi folks,
I've read that PW 2003 only allowes 32 processes to run at the same time, after that MDA hangs. And I also read that about 27 processes are running by default and only the remaining 5 (?) are free to use. So, is there any way to get rid of some of the 27 to stay away from the edge (soft reset)?
Thanks

My imate is running 25 processes. The remaining 7 is large enough.
WinCE would not hang when process count is 32. It would terminate the unnecessary processes.
To make the count of running programs smaller edit \Windows\StartUp folder and remove the unnecessary shortcuts.

Program Mem (RAM) getting less&less

Dear All,
I run the O2 XDA as is w/ 4 heavy add applications, Navi, PIM, Wallet and Blackberry.
I start w/ 50% RAM usage after soft-reset. After some days I see 75%
There is either a memory leak in the applications, or DLLs are sitting there and are not unloaded from mem.
IS THERE ANYWHERE A TOOL TO MANAGE AND REVIEW THE DYNAMIC MEMORY ALLOCATION (RAM) ??
Thank you for info.

I am not aware of one. The Sktools application has some useful clean-out stuff and has an option to manage running processes. It does not sadly show their %Ram usage figures.

Ram usage
Hi, thank you for your reply.
May be somebody else from the R&D side has something to say.
I recognised that the sum of RAM usage, as indikated by tools like SK or Taskmanager does not at all come close to the RAM usage indicated by System resources.

Sorry to post to myself,
but I found out that after soft reset, Task manager tool and mem maid show significantly different memory allocation for the processes running after reset. For example filesys 2,85 Mb versus 2,4 Mb.
What to believe ??
All in all, I come close to 8 Mb mem usage for the processes. with 49 Mb free, I count 56 Mb. If the total RAM is 64Mb, where are the other 8 Mb? Can this be other code, copied into RAM for execution ?
Does somebody know, if the display has its own memory ?

Memory utilization on Windows Mobile 6.1

Hi,
I would like to understand how to optimize the memory usage on my Elf. The memory application reports
Storage:
Total: 30.44MB
IN Use: 28.95MB
Free: 1.48MB
Program:
Total: 47.90MB
In Use: 32.42MB
Free: 15.48MB
I am trying to chase a memory leak in one of the application and I would like to troubleshoot this.
As newbie, I am not sure of the memory management model of Windows Mobile 6.1.
- What exactly are the Storage & Applications buckets? Is storage the built-in flash or something?
- How to identify and cleanup memory hungry applications?
- Are there any known leaks in "Windows Mobile 6.1" while using network?
The "Memory" utility shows only couple of applications running but obviously there must be lot of other cruft that is loaded for the system to run.

task managers showing different memory usage for tasks

gwes.exe shows using 11.8MB of memory in samsung task manager. Device.exe takes 9MB.
But in FDCSoft task manager v3.1 I get completely different results!
It shows gwes.exe taking 25233kb (I hope "b" means byte not bit while device.exe surprisingly showing just 5416kb!
I would understand both values to be bigger, but what is this?
Also please forward me to some guide or article describing all the windows mobile processes and services, if you know some information like that. Thanks

question about memory usage

I have a touch 2 and I installed mobile shell but checking memory usage I note that some exe eats many memory, is it normall?
gwes.exe 9130 kb
device.exe 6695 kb
mobile shell 3915 kb
filesys.exe 3559 kb
cprog.exe 1996 kb
etc.

Its a process that needs to be running. Check out this link if I can post it.

Thanks for the reply but it was not my intention to kill this application I wanted only to know if it's normal that gwes.exe and device.exe eats so many memory
