  Neo,~~  instead of rebooting, i suggest you try "rambooster", a 
  freeware program~  that will free up all avail. ram for you without 
  having to restart.~~  you should be able to find it online with a 
  simple search~  engine.  if not,~  let me know and i 
  will send you the exe file.~~  regards,~~
