Lightroom error msg. Look at this screen shot

[twmeyer]

<p>written backwards?</p>

<p>In this system, I've got almost 20K images in one catalog, 8 drives (2 internal, 6 external in 3 devices) totalling 4T of storage and 4G of RAM. Windows Pro.</p>

<p>I wonder what's up. I was trying to compare two images in the same folder in the Library module. Look at the screen shot and give me any theories you have about it. Should I care? or just keep working? No other issues arise.. yet. I would like to use this comparative view... t</p><div></div>

<p>Hmmm ... look what the text says ...</p><div></div>

[roger_smith4]

<p>So how much memory were Lightroom and CS3 using together? Perhaps more than you had available?</p>

[mark_sirota1]

<p>Also be sure you're using Lightroom 2.3 -- earlier versions had a memory leak.</p>

<p>does it say buy a Mac? dam i cant read leonardo da vinci style error : )</p>

<p>maybe try to close ALL your open application? i see you have some open that could be it...</p>

<p>Why is the text inverted - something to do with Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining"?</p>

[twmeyer]

<p>excuse me? Photoshop and Lightroom can't be open at the same time? Even with 4G ram and a ton of scratch? (330G free on F drive which is the first scratch disk). Besides, I had only opened PS CS3 to make a jpg of the screen shot. It was not open at the time of the error.</p>

<p>I <em>am</em> using LR v2.3, so memory leak schmemory leak.</p>

<p>Breeze Browser is a very low resource app.</p>

<p>This is lame... t</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

[twmeyer]

<p>and now it's working fine, even though I'm playing a game of Hearts while I import... ooo scary.</p>

<p>Yeah I know it said out of memory backwards in red... that's why I made the crack about needing an exorcist. I do appreciate the "redrum" Kubrick reference though. It's the most entertaining, if still useless comment on this thread.</p>

<p>Come on guys... no big ideas? Are you going to force me into that Briar Patch called the Lightroom User Forum?... t</p><div></div>

<p>from what I've read on the web, 2.3 did not completely fix the memory leak situation. It reduced it tremendously, but it still happens very intermittantly. Of course Adobe says nothing about it that I can find.</p>

[mark_sirota1]

<p>I think that's because nobody has demonstrated the leak in 2.3 in any repeatable way. At least I've never seen it, though I've heard rare anecdotes.</p>

<p>Tom, if you don't want to wade into the Adobe User-to-User forum (and I understand completely), try <a href="http://www.lightroomforums.net/">Lightroom Forums</a> . Much friendlier, with a remarkably knowledgeable set of gurus.</p>

<p>LR has had memory management issues, at least on Windows, since I started with the first beta. If you add more memory, it'll just chew that up, too. </p>

<p>Thanks for the tip Mark. And for everyone''s attention to this. I think it's one of those things like the weather in Georgia. If you don't like it, just wait a while and it will change. Substantially. This problem hasn't come back, despite multi program work flow and heavy importing.</p>

<p>I really thought everyone might get a kick out of the wierd backwards error message in red. Thanks folks... t</p>

[herma]

<p>I've had that happen once. But can't remember what the deal was.. Weird indeed.<br>
