[no Bug] Possible high memory use (1 Viewer)

[LJG]

I am running Windows 7 32 bit with 4GB RAM

I am getting this error message fairly regularly (once or twice a day):

Sometimes it points to MPDisplay (as above) but sometimes it points to MediaPortal.

I got this screen grab after everything had been running for about 15 minutes, does it look normal, or do I have a memory leak issue somewhere?

UPDATE: I have stumbled upon 'virtual memory' settings. I had paging file disabled, probably as part of an SSD set up guide that I had forgotten about. I have now switched it to: 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives'. Maybe this will solve the problem.

lisag, can you look in Fontengine thread ?

disable paging is recommended for SDD saving, but only if you have many RAM available, for me 4 GB is a bit limit.
and if use SSD, you have maybe TEMP on ramdisk ?

Thanks azzuro, interesting information!

Ramdisk is a new concept to me, I'll look into it though.

The SSD in my main HTPC, is approx 3 years old and some software called 'CrystalDiskInfo' reports it as being at 99% health.
I'll keep an eye on it to see if re-enabling paging file has any significant effect.

Mainly, I just would like the low memory warnings to go away, and of course for the PC to run at maximum speed and efficiency.

Well it's been 5 days since I changed the virtual memory settings and I have had no more low memory warnings, so I think I'll say this is solved

I would still say there is a leak somewhere, using more swap space just hides the issue..

Tried to go to the message and it errors I don't have permission

I also got this message with 8GB of RAM & 400mb of paging on ssd, I've changed to add 16000mb paging on spinner
