HELP!!! I'm working on a Windows app that does not free system resources properly. The GDI segment is OK, but my USER segment is growing. It doesn't seem to grow larger the same amount each time. I looked for any MakeProcInstance calls without FreeProcInstance calls, but this doesn't seem to be the problem. I only use one MakeProcInstance call, other than dialog boxes, and save the pointer to a global variable. I FreeProcInstance when processing the WM_DESTROY message. ( Could this be the problem? My app sure doesn't have any trouble finding the function. ) By the way my app loses 4 to 6K to the USER segment each time it is run and exited. Does this sound like an application problem, or maybe a Windows (heaven forbid!) problem? Any hints or advice would be greatly appreciated. Post or E-Mail will be fine. Thanks in advance, /**************************************************************************\ | Tommy Sager P. O.
