think I have finally proved my memory woes are caused by BDS - I just had
the PC running slow, according to sysinternals System Information it was using
955MB of ram (system memory is 768MB hence everything started crawling), on
closing BDS it immediately dropped to 355MB. I had my big project open
(with RvSystem) but first I closed it and opened a small project - it didn't
free up any memory, but closing BDS did.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

this system takes). Dunno if that will fix it tho!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=196480222-03072006>I am
having frequent instances of my PC running out of memory and coming up with
messages about "Windows has run out of virtual memory and is increasing the
page file size" The hard disk goes crazy, the pc slows to a crawl and
usually the Windows session goes cuckoo after that, even exiting programs to
lessen memory use can take forever, and usually the best is to
reboot. I have tried to narrow it down - Firefox with lots of tabs? well
I tried Opera instead and IE7.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

have no proof but my best guess so far is BDS 2006 with a project
open using Rave Reports - it only started happening after I used Rave in a few
projects. Projects without it I think are be OK. I am
only using the RvSystem component for code based reports, although it is quite
large - it adds some 800K to the program. Rebuild such a project a few
times over a few hours, and it seems the system runs out of memory.
This is without running the Rave printing at all - I am testing other
stuff, also using the debugger. Process explorer doesn't show any
obvious candidate. Or alternatively it could be any component with large
memory usage - Rave is the only one I use of such size. Or maybe the
debugger is another candidate (I often run programs with a few breakoints set
to check some variable values, thats pretty much all I do with
it).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
