I am running Windows XP SP3 and CCleaner v2.18.878, 4GB RAM. The problem is the header shows that system shows as running 2.5GB RAM. Can this be corrected?

Well CC is close with my system 638MB, Recuva says 639MB, My Computer says 639MB. My system at work has 2GB and it shows 2GB on there. Try out my
Memory_Checker.zip and tell use what that shows? If you have 4GB then the PageFile will be of the scale it is on my 2GB at work. I haven't investigated this yet. ;)

Thank you Dennis for finding this link. :rolleyes:

Do you have a 64-bit OS, thats probably the cause. CCleaner is 32-bit and 32-bit won't recognize more than 3.5 GB memory.
