Sorry! The second line is supposed to be: SpeedScreenBACompressedCacheSize=3D2000 Regards, Einar=20 -----Original Message----- From: thi...@li...

Subject: RE: [Thinstation-general] Thinststion & ICA - 16M of RAM is not enough? Hello I had the same problem with memory-rich clients. There is a bug in the Citrix Client when you use SpeedScreen Browsing. All graphics displayed in the browser consumes RAM in the ICA process. When the client runs out of memory it crashes and/or locks up the pc. Turn off SpeedScreen on the servers and the problem is gone; However, if you need/want SpeedScreen there is a way to limit the memory it uses: In the file module.ini (Citrix package) add the following lines: SpeedScreenBADecompressedCacheSize=3D2000 SpeedScreenBADCompressedCacheSize=3D2000 This will limit the memory it consumes to 2MB. We have 64MB on our clients, so I set the size to 5 MB. I don't think these settings are documented anywhere.... I got this from Citrix when I reported the error/bug. After testing and working with Citrix we found the error, and they said it will be fixed in the next client release. Regards, Einar Eliassen -----Original Message----- From: thi...@li...

Greetings all, I have a question to people using thinstation on a old pentiums: is 16 M of RAM not enough to see Citrix ICA client working? When I try to launch an ICA session on a such machine, it connects well and works just a couple of minutes (and even less, depending of amount of graphics displayed), then disconnects without any warnings. It seems to me that it caches bitmaps to ram, and when the ram fills up... it is the end. I've tried Thinstation 2.0.2 and 2.2beta2, a lot of combinations of video modes, packages, X Lservers... Nothing helped. Only adding another 16 M of ram solves the problem. Maybe there is some fine tuning of ICA Client to use less memory? None of ini files I've found in packages/ica contains ram cache settings. Buying additional SIMMs is not a good idea in 2005. BTW Rdesktop works fine even on 8 M with tinyX but it in all cases so much slower then Citrix...
