Re: Freeing memory....

If you are running Firefox then it might a culprit in messing with your
available memory. Apparently there are some memory leak issues with how
Firefox caches web pages. Memory is not freed up when the cache is cleared,
in fact the memory isn't even released when Firefox is closed down. Only a
reboot clears it up.

Hi all,

I don't know about anybody else but when I am working on a heavy scene and
hit F9, sometimes LW complains about not having enough memory for it's
centre buffer (or something) - even after killing other apps and Fprime.
At that point, I save the scene, re-boot and I can load the scene and all
is well - for a while anyway.

It strikes me that this is a memory fragmentation issue which gets sorted
on reboot. (I could be wrong!)

Can anybody recommend an Windows XP 32-bit application that can
defragment/tidy up (or whatever) the memory so that I can do a render
without hitting the restart?

System is: AMD Athlon 64 dual core, 2Gb RAM, Win XP 32-bit, Geforce
7800gtx.

Many thanks
Steve
