Historically, Mapnfo Pro has had memory leaks that lead to some of the
problems your describing.� It was especially a problem prior to Windows 95
(what was that, 3.1?).� Not all of the problems were MapInfo, though.� We
encountered Windows printer drivers that had big problems.
�
I would increase the paging size as you thought.� See if it makes a
difference.
�
One idea is to have the program only run 3 hours of maps (36 maps) and use a
scheduler to spawn another process (version) to do the next 3 hours.� The
program could be made smart enough to see if the prior "run" has finished.
�
It's kind of the solution I describe as instead of fixing the leaky roof,
you install a drain in the leaked-on floor!
Sometimes we're all stuck - if you want help in such a scheduler, feel free
to contact me.

Subject: MI MapInfo 5.5 Crash
Hi,
�
I am using MapInfo 5.5 as an engine to produce maps every 5 minutes, 24
hours a day using a custom built program that links to MapInfo using OLE.�
The problem I have come across is that MapInfo crashes after about 4 hours.�
The server is also running a number of other (small) programs at the same
time, but with 320mb Ram under NT shouldn't have a problem.�
�
Can anyone help?? - does the size of the pagefile.sys have an affect on
MapInfo?
�
Thanks
�
R
