    Who knows how to deallocate memory I allocated using something like this: char *x = new char[100000000]; ? I know tha there is a 'delete' command, but it deallocates mem only for the current app and I want to give the memory back to the OS. Any ideas ?

      Take a look at the VirtualAlloc routines. Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?
