PowerPoint Presentation Memory Usage

I have created a number of swf files to demonstrate the use
of a program, using Captiveate 2. There are about 5 or 6 of them,
and each is no more than a min in length. They was created using
full motion recording and the resultant flash files are no larger
than 2 MB in size.
I import these into PowerPoint 2003 as a shockwave flash
object and they appear fine when the slides are presented. However,
the computer quickly grinds to a halt, and looking at task manager
on another monitor whilst the flash files are playing, I can see
PowerPoint's memory usage ramp up at the rate of about 10 MB/sec.
Moving onto the next slide does not clear the previous slides
memory usage, hence windows quickly runs out of virtual memory.
I do not see this behaviour when I import alternative flash
files into PowerPoint. I have tried this with/without the _skin.swf
file but the resutls are the same. Has anyone seen this behaviour
before? I have also tried this on a number of computers, and the
same issues are seen.

Hi High Tower
I'm surprised you aren't also seeing what we call the RSOD
(Red Screen Of Death). This happens when you have used Captivate to
record longer full motion recordings. What happens is that each
full motion clip is loaded into memory until all memory (virtual
and otherwise) becomes totally depleted. The screens begin showing
red spots and quickly move from that to the full screen being red.
This really isn't an issue with Captivate. Moreover, it's an
issue with the way the Flash player handles the full motion clips.
Sorry, but the only way I'm aware of to work around it is to
structure your projects differently. Avoid using full motion if you
can and use slide based recording whenever possible.
Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

Hi all,
We are facing High uccx engine memory usage ,our system version uccx 8.2 su4,when ever this problem hapening we are facing all agent desktop failure also.Any one facing this same issue.Kindly attached RTMT screen shot.
Thanks.

Hi Renji,
This is a known defect CSCtn87921 and its caused by a memory leak in BIPPA service
-Please follow the workaround of restarting the BIPPA service from serviceability section on both servers if present
-Check if the alert disappears
-It should have been fixed in SU4 but apparently not
Keep me posted

IMAGES in POWERPOINT presentation can't be read by a Windows PC

I create a POWERPOINT PRESENTATION on a Mac and insert image files (jpg) from Google into the slides. The presentation works fine on the Mac.
I then go and playback this presentation on any Windows PC and it can't read the images, displaying an error message in the image frame of each such slide about some TIFF driver missing to display this image.
What do I do wrong?
PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Powerpoint 2004 for Mac

I have had this problem before, but I use the following work around.
1) Copy the graphic to clipboard with Command C (or use the Grab utility, then copy to memory)
2) Create a new document in Photoshop (it should automatically create the correct size)
- Paste
- Cut
4) Switch back to PowerPoint Mac and Paste it back in.
I do this routinely now when creating PowerPoint presentations and it works every time on PCs.

Air runtime memory usage

I am developing games on Android devices and I find the total memory usage of my air application presented in Scout is always smaller (100M) than the memory usage shown in the Taskmanager.
Some articles say that the Scout does not count the memory used by the air runtime.
However, it is not possible that the air runtime occupies more than 100M memory, right? Especially, on Android devices?
I have also written a very small test app, it only occupies 20M memory (containing the air runtime).
My question is how can I reduce the additional 100M memory not presented in Scout?

Diagnostics Workload Analysis - Java Memory Usage gives BI query input

Dears
I have set up diagnostics (aka root cause analysis) at a customer side and I'm bumping into the problem that on the Java Memory Usage tab in Workload analyis the BI query input overview is given
Sol Man 7.0 EHP1 SPS20 (ST component SP19)
Wily Introscope 8.2.3.5
Introscope Agent 8.2.3.5
Diagnostics Agent 7.20
When I click on the check button there I get the following:
Value "JAVA MEMORY USAGE" for variable "E2E Metric Type Variable" is invalid
I already checked multiple SAP Notes like the implementation of the latest EWA EA WA xml file for the Sol Man stack version.
I already reactivated BI content using report CCMS_BI_SETUP_E2E and it gave no errors.
The content is getting filled in Wily Introscope, extractors on Solution Manager are running and capturing records (>0).
Did anyone come accross this issue already?
ERROR MESSAGE:
Diagnosis
Characteristic value "JAVA MEMORY USAGE" is not valid for variable E2E Metric Type Variable.
Procedure
Enter a valid value for the characteristic. The value help, for example, provides you with suggestions. If no information is available here, then perhaps no characteristic values exist for the characteristic.
If the variable for 0DATE or 0CALDAY has been created and is being used as a key date for a hierarchy, check whether the hierarchies used are valid for this characteristic. The same is valid for variables that refer to the hierarchy version.

Hello Paul
I checked the guide earlier on today. I also asked someone with more BI knowledge to take a look with me but it seems the root cause analysis data fetching isn't really the same as what is normally done in BI with BI cubes so it's hard to determine why the data fetch is not working properly.
The extractors are running fine, I couldn't find any more errors in the diagnostics agent log files (in debug mode) and I don't find other errors for the SAP system.
I tried reactivating the BI content but it seems to be fine (no errors). I reran the managed system setup which also works.
One of the problems I did notice is the fact that the managed SAP systems are half virtualized. They aren't completely virtualized (no seperate ip address) but they are using virtual hostnames which also causes issues with Root Cause Analysis as I cannot install only one agent because I cannot assign it to the managed systems and when I install one agent per SAP system I have the message that there are already agents reporting to the Enterprise Manager residing on the same host. I don't know if this could influence the data extractor. I doubt it because in Wily the data is being fetched fine.
The only thing that it not working at the moment is the workload analysis - java memory analysis tab. It holds the Key Performance Indicators for the J2EE engine (garbage collection %). I can see them in Wily Introscope where they are available and fine.
When I looked at the infocubes together with a BI team member, it seemed the infocube for daily stats on performance was getting filled properly (through RSA1) but the infocube for hourly stats wasn't getting filled properly. This is also visible in the workload analysis, data from yesterday displays fine in workload analysis overview for example but data from an hour ago doesn't.
I do have to state the Solution Manager doesn't match the prerequisites (post processing notes are not present after SP-stack update, SLD content is not up to date) but I could not push through those changes within a short timeframe as the Solution Manager is also used for other scenarios and it would be too disruptive at this moment.
If I can't fix it I will have to explain to the customer why some parts are not working and request them to handle the missing items so the prerequisites are met.
One of the notes I found described a similar issue and noted it could be caused due to an old XML file structure so I updated the XML file to the latest version.
The SAPOscol also throwed errors in the beginning strange enough. I had the Host Agent installed and updated and the SAPOscol service was running properly through the Host Agent as a service. The diagnostics agent tries to start SAPOscol in /usr/sap/<SID>/SMDA<instance number>/exe which does not hold the SAPOscol executable. I suppose it's a bug from SAP? After copying the SAPOscol from the Host Agent to the location of the SMD Agent the error disappeared. Instead the agent tries to start SAPOscol but then notices SAPOscol is already running and writes in the log that SAPOscol is already running properly and a startup is not neccesary.
To me it comes down the point where I have little faith in the scenario if the Solution Manager and the managed SAP systems are not maintained and up to date 100%. I could open a customer message but the first advice will be to patch the Solution Manager and meet the prerequisites.
Another pain point is the fact that if the managed SAP systems are not 100% correct in transaction SMSY it also causes heaps of issues. Changing the SAP system there isn't a fast operation as it can be included in numerous logical components, projects, scenario's (CHARM) and it causes disruption to daily work.
All in all I have mixed feelings about the implementation, I want to deliver a fully working scenario but it's near impossible due to the fact that the prerequisites are not met. I hope the customer will still be happy with what is delivered.
I sure do hope some of these issues are handled in Solution Manager 7.1. I will certainly mail my concerns to the development team and hope they can handle some or all of them.
Kind regards
Tom

Logic Pro 8, Kontakt 2.23 & Memory usage

Hello -
*What type of known memory problems might exist between Logic (Logic 8 in particular) and either Kontakt 2.23 or Kontakt Player 2.23??*
*If there are known memory usage issues, what can be done to help/fix the situation??*
My computer set up is listed below. I have not upgraded to Leopard (but did upgrade to Logic Pro 8). By-in-large, Logic Pro 8 works fine. However, I usually "network" the Logic sequencing projects with Muse Research's Receptor (version B) and/or an aging Dell Precision Workstation 650 using Musiclab's MIDIoverLan CP3. This has proven stable for me. For my most recent project, I decided to see how many instrument plug-ins I can utilize within the Logic Pro 8 program (without benefit of this "network" set-up). For this project, I'm using one instance of MusicLab's RealGuitar and 16 instances of +*Kontakt Player version 2.23*+ for a total of 17 instrumental tracks. The instrument libraries used are Garritan's GPO and JABB. With this many individual (not multi) track instances used, the activity monitor is showing high RAM usage. For some of the instruments, I could not use the KS choices (trumpet, trombone) because the extra RAM caused Logic to crash as I mounted more instruments.
I tried adjusting the DFD. Still, there remained high RAM usage and the occasional crash. For some of the crashes, I either got the endless colored spinning wheel or a message basically stating that there was no memory available for the DFD. I am no expert with the advanced workings of Logic and the DFD associated with the Kontakt plug-ins. But I am surprised that using just 17 instrument tracks with this newer Mac Pro computer (with 5 GBs RAM) is causing problems. Sadly, I am not an expert Apple user to be able to tell whether it's the computer or Logic or Kontakt. I suspect, though, its some kind of issue between Kontakt and Logic.
For my audio, I use MOTU's 2408 MK3. For my midi in-put I use M-Audio's Keystation Pro 88. I do not think either one of these devices are causing the apparent memory problems.
By the way. . . before I purchased my newer MacPro computer, I had a similar instrumental set-up using my aging Dell Precision 650 workstation with 2 GB of RAM using Steinberg's SX 3 program. I used the same GPO and JABB sound libraries. It did "challange" the Dell computer (I had to adjust buffer/latency settings to MOTU's 828 MK2 used with the Dell computer), but the computer didn't crash like what I'm experiencing at present.
I don't mind "networking" my computers together in order to use larger instrumental plug-in tracks. But I would think that given the "power" of my newer MacPro I should be able to handle more than 17 GPO & JABB tracks. Yes? No?
*Given my current computer set-up, how many instrumental tracks (using libraries associated with Kontakt or the Kontakt Player) should I get??*
Thank you in advance.
Ted

Sadly, I can chime in with the same basic problem. Namely, that
Kontakt2 seems to leak ram. I've watched the activity monitor show
an increase in ram allocation to logic if i simply LOOK at a kontakt
instance. Just clicking on the instance causes ram to be allocated, and no matter how much I purge samples, I just can't retrieve that ram. Once 2 gigs are sent to logic, crash.
The only solution I've found is to save & restart before it climbs too high. I can then work for an hour or so until the ram overflows again. This is obviously a major bug, and I agree that Logic doesn't appear to be the culprit.
Have either of you tried K3? I wonder if the problem is more under control there? There's no way Kontakt will bother to fix this bug
in v2.23 with v3 on the shelves. The question is, how do we know that v3 fixes it without buying it? I've heard reports that v3 is even
more bloated than v2.
I've recently done a clean install of leopard on a blank drive, and
i'm patiently waiting until NI updates the installers for K2.
Then, i'll have a clean OS, clean newly installed logic 8, and
a cleanly installed K2. Maybe that will help mitigate, if not solve the problem.
I'm almost sure that Kontakt is the source of the problem, but
I've also been told that Intels have serious flaws in their ram
allocation WITH TIGER.
Some people with G5's have reported having access to 3.5 gigs ram.
Intells can only use 2 gigs with any one app. This was thought to be a problem with Tiger and and Intels. So maybe Leopard will expand the RAM wallet, and then we just have to wait for Kontakt to stop spending so much.

When i run exe built in Labview 7.1 the memory usage goes on increasing

Dear Sir/Madam
I have built an application in LabView 7.1. When i run this application and view the memory usage in Task manager, i find that the memory usage goes on increasing.
Please help.
With Regards
Ravindra Kumbhar

Hi, Ravindra,
It looks that you have memory leak in your application.
There are lot of possible reasons for memory leaks - opened in cycle and not closed references, continuosly growing arrays, memory allocation in own DLLs, etc.
Normally you should have the same behaviour in development environment as well (memory of LabVIEW.exe incresed continuously).
You should check the code, which executed repeatable (while/for loops) for allocated, but not closed resources. What you can do is following - remove (or isolate) parts of you code, executed in cycles, then check is leak present or not. So, step by step you will found the place where leak occurred.
best regards,
Andrey.

Memory usage/freeze/crash modifying multiple objects

I'm getting Labview hanging issues when I try to modify front panel objects while editing (not running). It seems to be a general problem but this is the current scenario. Many charts on my front panel (over thirty), so I multiple select, and RClick>Properties. Watching Labview in Task Manager, I watch the Memory usage climb from about 90MB to 600MB. And it takes a minute at least! I can then change properties (plot scale ranges), and after more pausing, the dialog closes. Soon after, I'll get a fatal error and LV crashes. Something wrong here; I thought maybe it's my computer, but how can it take 0.5GB to load 30 chart property sets? Core i5, LV2011, Win7.

johnsold wrote:
Do you have the chart history lengths set to large values (many MB)? Do you have significant amounts of data saved as default in the charts?
Try clearing the charts, one at a time if necessary, first.
Charts have internal buffers. So LV may be trying to make backup copies so that you can undo if you change your mind. Charts are generally not a good way to manage large amounts of data. I use as a rule of thumb: Do not keeping more data in a chart than the number of pixels in its width.
Lynn
I aggree that crashing could be due to the amount of data in the charts. Try clearing them and saving the cleared chart as the default before doing the multiple object selection.
I guess I live a more dangerous life-style that Lynn in that I'll allow more data points than pixels simply because LV is "SO DAMN GOOD" at rendering down the data and supporting zooming. "In the old days" it was a common technique to reduce the data sets presented to charts to avaoid killing the CPU. So Lynn's "rule of thumb" is consistent with history. modern CPU can handle the abuse much better now so I can get away with living close to the edge.

Inserting photos into a powerpoint presentation

Hello,
I just returned from a Powerpoint class. I was trying to create a presentation by inserting my photos but my computer started to overheat and the scroll bar started to blink. The teacher said that I was using too much RAM memory and suggested that I decrease the size of the pictures. She also said that my powerpoint presentations are text based. I would like to create a presentation for my students at school.

Since PowerPoint is not an Apple product you should really consider posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Office:Mac products, as they would be geared more toward your issue than an Apple forum:

Withdraw permission allowing you to monitor memory usage

I now often have to either force quit, reboot and have started having kernel "panics" since I agreed to allow Firefox monitor CPU usage. I am still running OS X 10.6.8 on my Mac's. I have had no problems with anything since installing that OS X.
However, from time to time with the latest install of Firefox 7.0.1 I find that the program and/or my computer "locks" up and appears unresponsive. I left Firefox active and resident on my computer last night and again everything will non-responsive. I opened activity monitor and noticed that Firefox was consuming 283 MB of real memory (at present 298.6 MB) and I have this an an other tab for the Seattle Times open. I withdraw my permission to allow Firefox to monitor my memory usage and need to know how to remove the cookie or what ever governs that)

Come on Firefox! Since your upgrades starting with FF4, Firefox has been acting like garage. It locks up constantly and I find myself having to use FF3.6.23 just to get my work done.
The most frustrating thing is we never hear from you. We don't know if you hear us, if you're working on it, or if you just plain don't care! I've been reacquainting myself with Safari and Google Chrome just in case I get so fed up I can't take it any more.
I believe you're monitoring mine also.
I'm on a March 2007 Mac Book Pro using OSX 10.6.8

Powerpoint presenter mode crash on Mountain Lion

I am aware that Office 2004 does not work with Mountain Lion, but Powerpoint presenter mode for 2008 crashes every single time. I upgraded last week from Snow Leopard (with which I had no problems with any office applications), didn't realize there were any issues until I went to class that night. Crash is inconsistent when you switch to presenter mode without a second monitor, but still happens about 85% of the time. I've spent about 4 hours with a Apple Genius and we have only managed to confirm the issue, but I was told this wasn't really Apple's problem since it is the office product that is crashing. He suggested uninstalling the OS and waiting for patches to come out. Anybody else had this issue or found a solution?

I am having the same problem.

Problem with Firefox and very heavy memory usage

For several releases now, Firefox has been particularly heavy on memory usage. With its most recent version, with a single browser instance and only one tab, Firefox consumes more memory that any other application running on my Windows PC. The memory footprint grows significantly as I open additional tabs, getting to almost 1GB when there are 7 or 8 tabs open. This is as true with no extensions or pluggins, and with the usual set, (firebug, fire cookie, fireshot, XMarks). Right now, with 2 tabs, the memory is at 217,128K and climbing, CPU is between 0.2 and 1.5%.
I have read dozens of threads providing "helpful" suggestions, and tried any that seem reasonable. But like most others who experience Firebug's memory problems, none address the issue.
Firefox is an excellent tool for web developers, and I rely on it heavily, but have now resorted to using Chrome as the default and only open Firefox when I must, in order to test or debug a page.
Is there no hope of resolving this problem? So far, from responses to other similar threads, the response has been to deny any responsibility and blame extensions and/or pluggins. This is not helpful and not accurate. Will Firefox accept ownership for this problem and try to address it properly, or must we continue to suffer for your failings?

55%, it's still 1.6Gb....there shouldn't be a problem scanning something that it says will take up 300Mb, then actually only takes up 70Mb.
And not wrong, it obviously isn't releasing the memory when other applications need it because it doesn't, I have to close PS before it will release it. Yes, it probably is supposed to release it, but it isn't.
Thank you for your answer (even if it did appear to me to be a bit rude/shouty, perhaps something more polite than "Wrong!" next time) but I'm sitting at my computer, and I can see what is using how much memory and when, you can't.

Problem with scanning and memory usage

I'm running PS CS3 on Vista Home Premium, 1.86Ghz Intel core 2 processor, and 4GB RAM.
I realise Vista only sees 3.3GB of this RAM, and I know Vista uses about 1GB all the time.
Question:
While running PS, and only PS, with no files open, I have 2GB of RAM, why will PS not let me scan a file that it says will take up 300Mb?
200Mb is about the limit that it will let me scan, but even then, the actual end product ends up being less than 100Mb. (around 70mb in most cases)I'm using a Dell AIO A920, latest drivers etc, and PS is set to use all avaliable RAM.
Not only will it not let me scan, once a file I've opened has used up "x" amount of RAM, even if I then close that file, "x" amount of RAM will STILL be unavaliable. This means if I scan something, I have to save it, close PS, then open it again before I can scan anything else.
Surely this isn't normal. Or am I being stupid and missing something obvious?
I've also monitored the memory usage during scanning using task manager and various other things, it hardly goes up at all, then shoots up to 70-80% once the 70ishMb file is loaded. Something is up because if that were true, I'd actually only have 1Gb of RAM, and running Vista would be nearly impossible.
It's not a Vista thing either as I had this problem when I had XP. In fact it was worse then, I could hardly scan anything, had to be very low resolution.
Thanks in advance for any help

Problem with JTree and memory usage

I have problem with the JTree when memory usage is over the phisical memory( I have 512MB).
I use JTree to display very large data about structure organization of big company. It is working fine until memory usage is over the phisical memory - then some of nodes are not visible.
I hope somebody has an idea about this problem.
