*almost* programming question(VS2005)
-
Hmm, yes, *THAT* "uber-product" again. I had 1 GB memory, and had system option set to 1.5GB whatever its called virtual-memory. Now I purchased anohter 2GB ram, because VS2005 was EXTREMELY slow. I got my RAM, installed it, and removed the virtual RAM. All was fine, some things got faster, VS2005 got a little faster and all was well. Until I tried loading two instances of VS2005 at the same time. If i load one, its OK. I run the second one, the first one hangs for infinite time. I end-task it in task manager, the second one hangs. I end-taks it as well. Explorer (NOT IE) hangs. I end task it, nothing hangs(wow, thats weird :p). I run explorer, it runs OK. run 2 copies of VS2005,same story. I reboot, try the same thing. it works fine, until at some point in just happens again. I cant say at which point, because its always different - sometimes after the comp has been running for 8 hours straight, sometimes if for 5 days, sometimes if 2 days, hibernated for 3 days, runnign for an hour again. pretty unpredictable. Has anyone ever encountered this? IF so, how do you battle with it?:~ Thanks for any suggestion, Anton. rara avis in terris

and JUST as i posted this is started working again after like 10 tries with it hanging. I say this is a major WTF.:wtf: some dude probably put this: [pseudocode] int iRand = random() * 1000; if (iRand > 10) { hang(DEF_INDEFINITE_TIME_AMT); while(still_hanging) { hog_the_whole_cpu(); } hang_other_vs_instances(); //die(); } [/pseudocode] in the startup of VS2005. X| rara avis in terris -- modified at 17:54 Sunday 2nd July, 2006 *comes back after a reboot* nevermind. as soon as i posted it, it crashed. I do have software installed - SetPoint(or something similar). Basically a part of my Logitech drivers. Do you think THAT could affect VS2k5?

If you really did turn off virtual memory, you probably should turn it back on.

With the beta versions yes, but with the release version, with 1GB RAM, I often have five instances running and they're fine. Doing a lot of debug work, yes, that starts to consume RAM, but so far I've found it to be a fairly stable app, meaning maybe once a month something wierd happens and it's best cured by a reboot.

Yes, I didn turn it off. but then how much of it should I put in there? half a gig? a gig? probably wont allow more... rara avis in terris

At work, where I have 1.5GB ram and about 2 virtual memory, I can run many instances without problems too. Its at home that it doesnt work. I have the same OS (WinXP), although at work it's the Novell-something-weird edition, and at home its professional w/ SP2. And at work I have a non-HT CPU, whilst at home it is HT. and roughly the same clock speed. I'm realy stumped on this one. Oh, and one other thing, at home I have VMWare installed. When I rebooted, I ran 2 instances of VS2k5, it was OK. then I run VMWare. Usualy it is the other way around - VMWare runs first. I also have an XP machine in it that has 512MB RAM. That *could* potentially affect it, but I am wondering why whould it with 3GB RAM... rara avis in terris

The general rule of thumb has always been 1.5 times your RAM size. Dunno if that still applies these days though...

WinXP32bit. Doesnt that support a max of 4Gigs(real ram PLUS virtual RAM). And I know the rule, which is why i had it set to 1.5 GB before, adn at 2.25 at work. Thanks for the tip tho, maybe others dont know it.:cool: rara avis in terris
