System Out of Memory Exception


 

Hi all? --
?
I have been usind AC Log as my general purpose logger since 2004, and my log contains just about 325,000 QSOs.? Periodically I back up my entire log on to flash drives.? For the past several backups, I have received an error message that says in part "Exception of the type 'SystemOutOfMemoryException' was thrown."? Before today, I have been able to try on a second or third attempt to get the ADIF saved so that I can copy it to a flash drive.? No such luck today.
?
Is there anything that can be done to address the System Out of Memory Exception once and for all?
?
All thoughts welcome.

How full is your flash drive?

It's not a problem with the flash drive.? It's a problem saving the ADIF log file on the computer itself.? Once I'm able to generate the ADIF for export, I have no problem getting it copied to the flash drive.

Bring up task manager or system resources to see how much RAM you¡¯re gobbling up trying to do it. I could be as simple as having too many things running at the same time though in this day and age that shouldn¡¯t be a problem. I have a CAD program that chews up 80GB+ of RAM (out of 96GB) when it renders objects and I can don¡¯t get that message. It could also be that your hard drive is filling up as the system spools data to it to make room for what you¡¯re doing.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your e-mail.? I'm sorry that you have run into trouble.? The short term solution is to close all other applications (including your browser) to free up memory, but to address the?System Out of Memory Exception once and for all, you will need to add additional RAM to your system.

Enjoy!

Would increasing the Windows page file (swap file) help, at least until he can arrange for? more memory?

I don't mess with this anymore but at one time it helped until I could get more RAM to install.?

Thanks for all of the replies.? I killed all of the running applications, and I was then able to generate and then copy the ADIF file to flash drives.
