Out of Memory Errors
It seems with the latest version I'm getting out of memory errors with TimerSync. This has only started happening since I installed 2.0.0.10. Has anyone else seen a memory leak in the new version?

Any pointers how you get to it? How long does it run before it errors? If you remember anything that could help me reproduce the error?

I"m on Windows 7 64bit. The problem seems to happen when I have multiple timers running. It's hanging and crashing constantly on me, but is very intermittent. Today I had a timer running for 1.5 hours, then tried to start a new timer, and it hung on me and then crashed.

I installed Windows 7 64 bit in a VMware environment and ran timerSync for several hours, but I had no luck in seeing the "Out of memory" error. I started 4 timers in this period, leaving eachone to run for at least 20 minutes. The memory the program occupates was also not very high. This is a screenshot of my session: http://timersync.com/Images/timerSync64bit.png
The biggest (and only change) in 2.0.0.10 was the auto save feature, so I suspect this could have some impact on this error you are getting (I save the chages each minute to a FireBird database). But, at the moment I can't reproduce the error.
Maybe you could try to uninstall and install the program?

I'm going to uninstall and reinstall this morning and I'll let you know if I continue to see the problem. Thanks for looking into it for me.

I have uninstalled and re-installed the timer, but am still getting out of memory errors when I try to start a new timer with a current timer running. The app then locks up and I have to do a force kill in the task manager. I've got 16GB of ram on my machine, so I know it's not a hardware issue. CPU load is 0, and memory is only 25,959K. Do you have any other suggestions?

Can you look for timerSync.log file on your station and send it to me if there is one?
Also, what is the exact error or errors that you see? Do you get to the new Timer Window or it crashes before?
