What you are describing sounds possible.  When you have some time, try 
running one of the apps at a time and see which one causes resources to
go down.  This will identify the "bad" app.  If you do this post your
findings so that it can be checked into.  Also, in regards to your question
about reclaiming memory, there is no way to get memory back from GDI and
USER once the app "loses" the handle to it.  You will have to reboot to get
the memory back (by reboot I mean exit windows, not reboot the machine.)
