I would suggest you to try taking that skin off that you have installed. Go back to the normal XP look, and see if it happens. Also what other programs are you running in the background? try disabling some of them, and then see if that resolves this issue.


Your memory situation looks fine. I wonder why it would open 100 instances of that dock? You might try reinstalling the dock, remove in in the add/remove programs and then do a fresh installation of it.
