EmilyLove Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) So this is a script that reduces memory for processes stored in the ini file. The problem lies when it tries to reduce memory for steam.exe (9th on the list). It reduces it's memory, then forgets what to process next and goes straight to explorer.exe (3rd on the list). Because of this, it never reduces memory for processes after steam.exe on the ini list. I have included my script and ini file for you to take a look at. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tekk Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) For $i = 1 To ... For $i = 1 To ... Next Next Your nested for loop is reusing $i, rename to $j or some other arbitrary letter. Edited November 8, 2016 by Tekk EmilyLove 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyLove Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 I cannot believe I missed something so obvious. Man, I feel stupid. Thanks @Tekk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Just an FYI, EmptyWorkingSet isn't going to help with anything. It's a bandaid used to fix poor programming, and doesn't really reduce the memory being used by a program, it just shifts it from RAM to the much slower hard drive. It will cause an impact on the programs you're using it on, and may cause problems. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

EmilyLove Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Nice to know. In my case though, I run out of memory and apps crash. Even if it is slower, it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
