I have a 512 MB RAM Windows XP Pro Machine.
Whenever I run some programs (mostly VB programs) I get this error "Runtime Error 7 Out of Memory".
Why is this happening.
What could be the reason?
How can I resolve this?
All other applications work just fine.

Please Help.
Thanks.

Maybe you have too much crap open?

I have 512 too, bout to get a gig but you shouldn't run out with VB..

You might need more virtual memory too. On my old computer I was running some VB Programs, Did the same thing
So I just made more virtual memory. Didn't have a problem then.

born2c0de, I know you are an accomplished programmer, so I doubt the problem is this, but have you checked the VB programs (I assume they are written by you) for memory leaks, objects created an not destroyed, pointers not reset, connections not closed, things like that?

[born2c0de]

No they haven't been written by me.
But yes...I did check for memory leaks.
I used Numega SmartCheck to check the programs and damn...do they have bigtime Memory Leaks or what!!!

Thanks Amadeus.

A small memory leak can do a lot of damage...

512mb is a healthy amount of ram but it can be used fast, the virtual memory suggestiong would be a good little fix, open the task manager and try to track down which programs are taking up a lot of ram, you might get some ideas.

Tried that...that usually doesn't help.
But it did give me a surprise....Opera Sure hogs up a whole lot of memory...but it's still my favorite browser

Firefox is a ram hog too...

50 megs of ram it used... But thats with having 4 windows, being open for about 8 hours with out closing firefox..

yeah the new Firefox 1.5 has memory hogging issues, it caused me to switch to Opera, Firefox is no longer the sleek, small, fast browser it used to be.

There is a fix for it, but it didn't work for me :-\

Yea...I noticed Amadeus shifted to Opera too. [Noticed the Profile Browser Update]

Well my Oracle 9i hogs up a whopping 130 MB ram, so my Pc is slow sometimes.

and i have Freemem Pro to free memory when i need it.
