Hi, I understand from this thread that is unavoidable that wine reserve big portion of VM (~3.6 GB). I am using wine on a VPS with Centos 5.2. My problem is that my VPS is charging my by all VM (among other resources) used by my server. In my case running a more or less simple windows application is taking more than 18 GB of VM. This is the top list (part of it):: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 3274 traditus 29 9 812m 476m 12m S 18.7 23.3 55:35.05 java 4419 traditus 29 9 3615m 8880 6380 S 1.7 0.4 3:47.42 IQConnect.exe 14115 traditus 29 9 10184 796 656 S 0.7 0.0 0:00.02 ping 31222 mysql 29 9 168m 25m 4904 S 0.7 1.2 0:08.24 mysqld 31033 root 29 9 953m 101m 8292 S 0.3 4.9 1:11.42 java 3061 traditus 29 9 95860 1376 836 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 crond 3272 traditus 29 9 8672 1120 948 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 bash 3273 traditus 29 9 8668 1056 904 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 IQServer.sh 3276 traditus 29 9 57688 3492 2300 S 0.0 0.2 0:00.00 sendmail 3277 traditus 29 9 3615m 8528 5672 S 0.0 0.4 0:00.08 IQServer.exe 3342 traditus 29 9 5160 2664 624 S 0.0 0.1 0:26.58 wineserver 3517 traditus 29 9 3607m 2484 1980 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 services.exe 3572 traditus 29 9 3607m 2848 2264 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.00 winedevice.exe 3834 traditus 29 9 3609m 5532 4296 S 0.0 0.3 0:01.98 explorer.exe As you can see any .exe process is taking 3.6 GB each. Any way to force all of them to use the same Virtual Memory space? Thanks and regards

Ok, I see. Other try, can I then kill some of the wine specific .exe processes once is started? services.exe, winedevice.exe or explorer.exe? Thanks and regards

Check the wiki on how to do that. And while your at it you should use the current wine 1.1.20 instead of outdated 1.0.1. John
