We have a PC running XP which is also running SQLServr that is consuming a vast amount of memory. We don't know why it is running SQLServr as the only time it accesses and updates our db is via the Internet, not via our local wireless network.
May I ask would we have problems if we turned off SQLServr, and if not, how do we do it?

Or
You can go into Control panel >administrative tools > services and find/stop the Microsoft SQL server service.

There are four SQLServr applications running:
1. SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER)
2. SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)
3. SQL Server Analysis Services (MSSQLSERVER)
4. SQL Server VSS Writer.
We were able to pause 1 and 3 above but not 2 and 4.
May I ask what would be the implications of stopping the processes? Would they start up again at next boot up? Although 2 and 4 above could not be paused, could they therefore be stopped?

Yes they can be stopped though you may have to remove them in [b]Safe Mode.[/b]
Also stopping them the way listed above will only keep them stopped till the next reboot. But to check if this is necessary have you thought of turning off the entire system and seeing what doesn't work?
It really sounds as if these services are running and doing something here.
