Vista memory leak?

I have an Acer laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium, and I installed 2G Mem
on my machine. Recently I've started keeping my laptop on for several days,
after letting it on for a few days, it starts complaining about low memory;
can only open 1 or 2 tabs in IE (openning a new tab would be impossible).
Start Menu Icon becomes unclickable, I have to hit windows key to open Start
menu. Also the Start Menu Icon's top portion ( the small part that sticks out
from the task bar ) seems to be chopped off. This is really messed up. I just
installed SP1, still doesn't help. Anyone else has similar experience?

The truth is you are an idiot. With a couple of bonus points you can be
upgraded to moron.

You can use the Reliability and Performance monitor or the Task Manager (add
the columns you need) to see what processes are using your memory.

Easy now, Mr. Spanky Yawner, you're starting to sound like a Fista Fanboy.
