That error message doesn't necessarily indicate that you're actually having
memory problems; it shows up in a number of unrelated situations. Best
advice is to first try upgrading Micro-Manager to the most recent version,
and if that doesn't work, then send us a Problem Report from the Help menu
in which you attempt to run live mode.

If you're worried about losing your old install, you can just install the
new version of Micro-Manager in a different directory. That way you can
switch between them freely (though you should only have one instance of
Micro-Manager running at any time, regardless of version).

Thanks!
