Hi qjak54
 
As I have oft said in relation to questions about this...personally I would not put much store in the System Analyzer component of WSA...it is a relatively 'coarse' instrument when compared to other system analysis products (some freeware) that are availableout there and therefore if yo are concerned by this aspect of your system then I would get something more useful and fullsome than System Analyzer.
 
In terms of "...how can i find the leak" the process or .exe that is the cause of the 'leak' should be identified at the end of the message. I have just run it on my system and...surprise, surprise (not) it has identified the same and is indicating that the 'offednig' .exe is 'Chrome'...which I know it is not but rather the way that Chrome works that will be causing this report.
 
EDIT: I completely forgot to say that if nothing is showing on the summary screen re. what is 'causing' the 'leak' then click on the 'View Report Detials', in the bottom left hand corner of the panel, and that will reveal more (but not much more) detailed information.

hey baldrick ., reason for my concern in regards to using system analizer ., is because ., i can only use the webroot toolbar to access my password protected sites ., in the internet explorer browser ., and at times .,4 example ., when i am on youtube ., and playing a video ., my systyem wont let me open it in fullscreen ., and it restarts to the home page ., automatically logging me out ., from youtube ,., and when i try it again ., the system freezes ., i cant exit nothing or close anything .,so i hit control+alt+del ., to restart ., and it does restart ., but sometimes ., when i hit the restart ., it says .,2 sum it up ., try again later ., and it does not restart .,, sending back to the frozen screen ., and the only way to get back online is to hold down the powwer button till it shuts down ., ., on another note i have tried to make sense or find the leak after running system analizer ., by reading the report ., but i cant make definate sense ., in the memory device section of the report.,

Hi qjak54
 
Thanks for the background...but I have to say that from what you are describing you most likely need to get you system looked at prefessionally and I honestly do not think that System Analyzer will assist in terms of what ails your system.  
 
From the sounds of it is it much more than a simple memory leak that is the problem, unless your system is really, really short in terms of RAM in which case System Analyzer would have highlighted this already...same if you were short of graphics-related memory.
 
Have you tried downloading & running some of the very good freeware utilities apps that are available, as one of them may reveal more in terms of the issue.
 
Also, what are your system specs? Processor, memory, graphics card, hard drive, etc.?
