A DDDT job just received an error message that said
Unhandled Exception Record - Reason: Out Of Memory (C++ Exception) (0xe06d7363) at address 0x004B5181 First time I have received this error on either of my computers. Any idea what caused it? If you need more information from the result log, please let me know. |

Hello captainjack,
My first idea is that it might be a long time since you have rebooted and some program might have left a lot of memory in use. Could you describe your system to us? :awrence |

The system is a 533 mhz celeron, 512 meg memory, running Windows ME. It is running the Avast virus protection software.
And yes, I do usually leave it running for weeks at a time crunching away on the grid work units. |

Hi,
----------------------------------------With that memory constraint you might want to look at the Swapfile/Virtual Memory settings. Ideally is should be set at free expansion but at least 750mb (1.5 times RAM). Here's a link to matrix showing the requirements per project. http://worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=17855 Windows 98/ME suffer from substantial memory leaking so over time they slow down when running none stop. Weekly soft boot recommended. Consider to run only Nutritious Rice f/t World and Help Conquer Cancer. Very light on systems. Selection can be done via My Grid > My Projects. Offtopic: Obtain the Microsoft free PageDefrag utility. Don't know if this works on Windows ME, but it sure reorganizes the swapfile and it's location for better system performance. ciao

Windows ME is no longer officially supported, so you will probably have increasing problems in the future.
From an economic perspective, trading in this computer for a newer model may give such large savings in your electricity bill that the upgrade pays for itself. Something to consider. |
