I am a bit challenged when it comes to use these tools (WinDbg & SOSEX). =
I have started to Red Gate Memory Profiler and had hoped that it will =
give me enough details. I will read and try to figure out how to use =
WinDbg. I have downloaded the latest version and installed it on the =
server where this process grows. I need to figure out how to incorporate =
sosex.dll (which I also downloaded) and then learn how to take the =
memory dump and analyze it. Someone said this is not for the faint of =
heart. I think I understand that now so bear with me, please.

Thanks,
Eddie

On another note, there's a way to do the memory walks without taking a =
dump

Also, a ready-made script for analyzing a dump if you have one

In short, read Tess' blog :)
