Firstly sorry if this is the wrong sub-forum, not sure where to put a possible windows and java problem.
I was asking this to try help my cousin a while ago but re-installing java didn't work.
Basically my little cousin plays a free online game called runescape. It uses java in the browser. However there's a problem, looks like amemory leak. Now I've looked around and no one else seems to have this issue so it must be his PC. This isn't major as he doesn't visit my house that often but when he does he gets a black screen in the middle of what he's doing.
Basically as he plays the game I noticed the memory usage of java.exe x32 gets larger and larger. I told him to tell me what it says at his home PC on task manager, he says it's usually says at the 100-200mb range all the time. Now here on my PC it's like that for a little while then it spikes, I was watching and you can literally see memory usage by java.exe going up my 2mb a second until it reaches a little over 1.5GB and blackscreens.
I have Vista but I doubt it's just that as like I said I tried looking around and no one else seems to get this. I want to sort it out because if it's a problem with my java then it's going to effect any future programs I personally use.
I was thinking if there's a way to stop java taking more then say 500mb it might help?
One weird thing is when I go on java.exe*32 it says:

What's going on here? Does it have something to do with it?
Any help would be great guys. I have an instance of the game's main page up now, not actually logged in but just far enough to load up java on the site, I can see it going up slowly, not 2mb a sec now but the speed at which it eats memory goes up and up. It started at 91mb, it's now on 174mb and growing.
