title: Finding memory leak in visual studio 2008 using c++
body: <p>I took over a big project written in c++ using visual studio 2008.   The application keeps crashing and when I look at the task manager in windows, it shows the application taken almost all the memory.   What application do people recommend to find memory leaks in c++ on windows platform?    </p>
  
  <p>I found some posts talking about using the visual leak in 2008 but not very effective.   </p>
  
  <p>Any ideas trying to find a needle in a haystack?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
