I ran Webroot system analyzer and consistantly get following returns
1. An active process has a possible memory Leak (solitaire.exe)
2. Private information may be stored in cookies on the system.
3. Graphics Ram is low and impacting performance
Analyzer does show a 99/100 result. But anything less than Green check mark bugs me.
Any assistance would be appreciated
Webroot indicates my Graphics RAM is low which is impacting performance. How do I improve performance?

Hi tyow
Welcome to the Community Forums.
In all honesty I would not pay that much attention to the findings of the SystemAnalyzer; it is just a baseline analyser that is not super sophisticated and if you really want to asses your system's performance you are better off getting hold of a specialist application...there are a number of freeware ones around.
However, in terms of specific responses to you points:
1. An active process has a possible memory Leak (solitaire.exe)
Yes, that may well be the case but I hardly think that it will impact performance massively, and if you wantr to get something done about this all you can do is to report the issue to the app's author...which I believe is Microsoft
2. Private information may be stored in cookies on the system.
Yes, cookies...well, WSA does not deal with or even detect cookies...as they are not considered a particular security threat, but if yo are worried then you can get hold of some cookie handling apps; all freeware and either stand alone or addons for the browser(s) that you use, to take care of and remove cookies.
3. Graphics Ram is low and impacting performance
Well, that one is a difficult one without knowing you system's exact spcs and also what you use it for. I would say that if you are not seeing any screen freezes, blotchy video playback, jittery screens, etc., then most likley you GPU RAM is fine...but agian there are freeware tools available on the web that can better qualify this for you.
Hope that helps, and assures yo that you are in no bad position? But again, just my thoughts on the topics, and unfortunately you will have to put up with the less than a Green checkmark...like the vasy majority of us have to. ;)
