Jrun.exe Memory Issue

I am using Coldfusion 8 Developer Edition as a testing server for Dreamweaver website development. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and 2 Gig of memory. When I start my computer I run into memory issues which I have traced to jrun.exe which is a part of Coldfusion. For maybe the first hour jrun is using well over a half a gig of member. After that it drops to about 60,000k. Does anyone know of a way to reduce that?

I am a mid level user with no server admin experience beyond setting up CF developer edition using mostly default settings. I have found support articles about this problem, but all of them were way over my head. Any suggestions need to be very specific and not in server admin jargon.

    I have not a clue what a "max heap" is or what "garbage collection" is, but I did find the setting in the Administrator. I reduced it from 512 to 256 and it does not appear to have affected the application at all, and it did cut the memory usage back to a point where it does not appear to affect other applications. Thanks.

    You can try reducing the max heap for the java in the coldfusion administrator to little bit lower value so the garbage collection might happen sooner. Its not easy to say how much max heap you should set as it totally depends on your application usage. Also, you can try to upgrade your java version to see if that improves garbage collection.
