Hi Donna, I tried to replicate what you are reporting on a machine with 384 meg of memory and found that Legacy peaked at 51 meg when running the Potential Problems report BUT cpu usage was a steady 99% while the report was being generated. I noted that I was using all the virtual memory assigned to this box. XP is supposed to automagically monitor and assign virtual memory so I don't think that was the issue unless you have that function turned off.
