RE: Memory problems

[David James]

Poorly written software.  Did you re-service pack it after you installed the software?  Our developers do that first if memory leaks occur.   DPJ   -----Original Message----- From: Sean Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, August 24, 2001 7:02 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Memory problems   Andrew you stud. Thanks for the tip. I noticed 2 instances of one piece of software using over 900mb of virtual memory each. This software was added a little over a month ago, and now that I think about, that's about the time these Virtual Memory errors started happening rather frequently.   So is this evidence of poorly written software, or are there any steps I can take to limit the amount of virtual memory these applications can use?   Regards,   Sean Martin, MCSE Network Administrator Ribelin Lowell & Company Insurance Brokers, Inc. 3111 C Street, Suite 300 Anchorage, Alaska 99503 Ph: (907) 561-1250 Fax: (907) 561-4315 Cell: (907) 229-0885 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Andrew S.

I can't narrow down any applications that may be causing a memory leak. There are a couple of DOS programs on the server which are checked to run in their own memory space. This is a Compaq Proliant ML530, Dual 866 PIII Xeon proc., 896MB RAM, (2) 9.1Gb disks. The page file is about twice the size of my physical RAM.  This server run NT4 TSE, sp5 and Citrix Metaframe 1.8, sp2.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might check out next? I'm in the process of running Performance Monitor right now, but wanted to check and see if there's any other areas I should be investigating.   I'm also experiencing infrequent blue screens with the same stop message, but I think I've narrowed this down to a printer driver conflict with one of the HP DeskJets installed. Thanks in advance for any help y'all can provide.   Regards,   Sean Martin, MCSE Network Administrator Ribelin Lowell & Company Insurance Brokers, Inc. 3111 C Street, Suite 300 Anchorage, Alaska 99503 Ph: (907) 561-1250 Fax: (907) 561-4315 Cell: (907) 229-0885 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm http://www.sunbelt-software.com/ntsysadmin_list_charter.htm DO NOT read, copy or disseminate this communication unless you are the intended addressee.
