On my old computer, which headed single-mindedly westwards some weeks ago, I had Poser 7 and Vue 6 running on 32-bit XP.   Minimising either Vue or Poser was a genuinely effective way to recover memory.   Restoring the application window would cause Vue/Poser to re-acquire quite a bit of memory, naturally, but, overall, memory was released.

  I now have the same Poser and Vue running on 32-bit Vista.   When I minimise either application, the quantity of memory held by it barely changes at all.   This isn't a matter of what Vista grabs for its own purposes, because the big numbers are assigned to Poser/Vue, but it does appear to be a problem with Vista, since it is the operating system that has changed.   OK:  so have the memory itself, the CPU, the motherboard and the driver software, but this looks like a Windows problem to me.

   Has anyone else seen this memory leak in Vista?   Does anyone know of a short-term response (akin to the minimising which worked well in XP), please?
