Hi,

I have installed a machine with the following: Windows XP
SP1, Office 2003,
VS.Net 2003, Visual FoxPro 7 and 8 (Both Service Pack 1)

My issue is that when ever I try and record a new test
using Application
Center Test, the RAM usage jumps up to 2 GB and then
after about 30 Seconds
ACT reports error "Not enough storage is available to
process this command.
(0x80070008)".

For the moment I have switched to using the Web
Application Stress Tool but
that isn't as nice as the Application Center Test.

Can somebody please help me.

Thanks,

Chris Ormerod

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, the problem you are facing is that
the memory usage raises sharply and cause "Not enough storage ..." error
when you testing a web project with ACT. Please correct me if there is any
misunderstanding.

I recommend you close/stop all the other unnecessary application/services
(say, anti-virus application) when testing. In addition, to narrow down the
problem, please check whether or the problem still exists if you test
against a simple wizard-generated only ASP .NET web application. Please
also keep Task Manager open while testing and check which process uses up
the memory.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Have a nice day! :)

HuangTM,

The issue was that as soon as you clicked "Start
Recording" in the wizard and it popped up IE6 the memory
usage would start jumping in 10-15 MB increments until it
hit 2GB, although the memory wasn't actually been used by
any particular process, the Task Manager graph was just
showing this much memory in use.

Although this was all last week, since then I have
downgraded my Exchange Messenger from 5.0 to 4.7 because
it was causing VirtualPC to crash (Might want to test
that and file a bug report - On WinXP if you have
Messenger 5.0 for Exchange (signed in), VirtualPC would
crash as soon as you try and start a VirtualPC) and this
has seemed to fix the ACT issue as well.

So I am alright for this issue now, however it happened
on this PC when I didn't even have Messenger 5, so I
reimaged my PC back to the standard ghost image we have
and it still didn't work, but then now it has started
working. I don't know if it has been reported to
Microsoft as a bug before, I searched Google for an
answer and only saw one other posting in a newsgroup that
didn't have an answer to it.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your information. As I understand, now the ACT works properly
after downgrading MSN Messenger from 5.0 to 4.7. Please correct me if there
is any misunderstanding. I searched internal resources and did not find any
known issue about it. I will check it with our Developer Team.

In addition, we are able to get the latest MSN Messenger from the address
below:

MSN Messenger
http://messenger.msn.com/

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day! :-)

Hi Chris,

It seems there is no known issue about MSN Messenger 5.0 causing ACT
crashes on our side. Anyway, I am glad to hear that it works now. Please
feel free to let me know if any further is needed.

Have a nice day! :-)
