To replicate on Windows 10 Home 64 bit:

 

1. Open task manager > Performance > Memory and watch the COMMITTED number.

    Or Get process explorer which can show you the 'system commit'. Open the relevant memory panel and keep it in view.

2. Open esword and with the mouse, select a big portion of text from any bible text. This will add 1GB of memory to 'system commit'.

3. Alternatively you can just go to 'parallel bibles' which will add 5GB to the 'system commit', every time!

4. Not much later, you will start getting a black screen, screen interruptions, and eventually an event 2004 ('Microsoft-Windows-Resource-Exhaustion-Detector')

 

 

I hope this helps.

e-Sword 12 is a 32 bit program so the maximum RAM memory is 4 GB.

If you have memory trouble then use lest resources and don't load a big dictionary like the one of Webster except if you deselect other Resources.

You can select the resources that you load: by Options and Resource Settings.

I wonder how you even can add "5GB" to a 32 bit program without tweaking the memory-management of your Windows edition.

And you did not mention which edition of Windows that you use.

my oversight. I added the windows version. 

BTW, my windows has no mods or tweaks.

My Windows does not suffer from memory problems.

It has 24GB RAM, but RAM is not the problem.

As I stated before the problem is COMMIT memory.

 

Maximum Commit is specified as pagefile size (if exists) + memory size (23.8GB)

Therefore esword adds huge chunks to this until the maximum size of 73.8GB is reached (50 + 23.8).

Although pagefile size is automatically managed by windows at 73.8 we reach MAX COMMIT

 

The issue here is why esword needs so much memory committed, just for selecting text, or changing to parallel? 

Why not release it afterwards?

Could you make a video of this happening, post here.?

[ajoannou]

Live demo.

I stopped short of the 73.8GB mark for obvious reasons of the video capture failing.

I replicated your actions and I did not get the rise in Committed. Hope you get your problem sorted.

[ajoannou]

Thanks for checking.

I created a new profile and it does not happen there either.

Thanks again.
