RAM Used by FBWF keeps increasing..."Running low on memory"
RAM Used by FBWF keeps increasing..."Running low on memory"
Hello,
I have a Wyse D90D7 Thin Client that is joined in a domain. The current user that I have logged in is an AD account.
I have received the message "Running in low in memory" (or something like that) a few times and I believe this is due to the increasing RAM used by FBWF. I've noticed that the RAM Used by FBWF has been steadily increasing even though the only active programs running that I know of is Firefox(I'm using it to display a page from our intranet site), and VNCServer.
Initially I thought the issue is that it just doesn't have enough RAM for FBWF Cache so I increased the Cache from 128MB to 256MB. Despite increasing the Cache, the RAM used just kept increasing all the way until it hit the threshold again.
Would you guys know what's causing this RAM to increase and how to stabilize it?
I would appreciate all the help.

Allen76,
the error message "Running low on memory" is referring to your actual RAM, not just the FBWF. If your device has 2GB of memory, that memory is shared between your video, applications, temp disk and FBWF. As you increase your shared video memory, RAM disk or FBWF memory, you decrease the amount of memory available to applications. Local browser are memory hogs and leakers, so that could also be a cause of the problems.
Recommendations: Lower the memory used for shared video (in the BIOS), your RAMDrive settings and the FBWF to defaults, or add another 2Gb to the client. Keep in mind that due to the 32bit nature of the OS, you will only be able to use an extra 1Gb of memory, but it will help you reduce the incidence of these messages.
