Re: [misterhouse-users] MH cameras

[Gary T. <ga...@sw...>]

That was an eyeopener. With just snapshot running (yes it has to be running 
for timelapse to work) it is using about 1,800K. When Timelapse is running 
and saving images it starts going up. It was at 31,000K when I stopped it. 
What happens is Windows runs out of memery and the Snapshot program shuts 
down.Timelapse itself uses about 640K and does not increase. Any ideas for a 
fix?

                                                                             
                                Gary
