M100HD : Memory allocation
Hi all,
Keep getting a memory allocation error come up. The windows then try to rebuild, each time opening up a new ‘mem alocation’ error window. Anyone else come across this?
Cheers

I often see this error also, except in my case it locks up the app and I have to force quit and relaunch (with the nice friendly message “Are you sure you want to quit? Unsaved changes will be lost,” etc.) Can’t reproduce it, not sure what causes it. It’s one of those M100 HD things that seems to negate the speed increase (my M100 version 8.2 running on OS 10.2 was much more stable… rarely crashed). Someone suggested that it might be because I have 4 gigs of RAM in my dual 2.5 and M100 HD is approved for only 2 gigs… haven’t taken the time to pull RAM and experiment with that “solution” yet…

Yeah, I was still getting this when I removed the extra ram we have down to the 2gig recomended. (Floh, Why is there a 2gig limit on the program? What are the issues with this?).
The events seem eratic althogh the easiest way to get it up eventually is by having another program open like AE6 in the background. The programmes I am editing are 30min. dunno if this might affect it. Used to have issues in v7 when we had a lot of titles. maybe this is a similar thing.
Also got it when I was swaping between Word and M100. I don’t tend to get a force quit comment but it just starts seizing up, so I end up shutting it down and restarting anyway.
I will try and keep you posted. Where are the logs held so we can look at what is going on? I could send these on if it happens again

As far as I know there are no issues, it simply has not been tested with more than 2GB. Probably it does not make a difference at all.

There are Crash Logs in the Console (in Applications->Utilities), but they tend to be not very helpful on memory leaks.
