Out of Memory Error 1455

Post by Steve B »

Happens pretty regularly even though all Everything is doing is hanging out in the background.

Using Version 1.4.1.1022 (x64) on a win10 PC.

Ideas?

Error 1455 is: ERROR_COMMITMENT_LIMIT
The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.

Have you changed your page file settings?
Please make sure the paging file is enabled and is at least 2x the total size of your RAM.



How many files is Everything indexing? (shown in the statusbar when the search is empty and no files are selected)
How much memory is Everything using? (shown in the task manager: Ctrl + Shift + ESC)

You should see about 100MB usage per 1 million files.



Please try reducing the number of files indexed.
Please try disabling the recent changes index under Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Index Recent Changes.

I have 16GB RAM. Paging file was set to Zero (!). Dunno why. I reset to let Windows do it; it's now 2926MBs.

How many files is Everything indexing? (shown in the statusbar when the search is empty and no files are selected)
1,110,500 Objects

How much memory is Everything using? (shown in the task manager: Ctrl + Shift + ESC)
127MB

You should see about 100MB usage per 1 million files.

Please try reducing the number of files indexed.
Not clear where to find that in Options.

done.

Thanks for guidance. I'll monitor and report back only if error persists.

Thank you for the information.

The Everything RAM usage looks normal.
There might be another program using RAM which might cause Everything to throw the 1455 error when available memory is low.

Enabling the page file should help.

You shouldn't need to change anything here.
1 million files / 127 MB usage is quite low.

You can customize what Everything indexes under:
Tools -> Options -> NTFS -> C: -> Include only
Tools -> Options -> Exclude

More information here.
