Windows Vista runs out of memory while copying files.
Incredible bug found in the operating system Windows Vista. It turns out that when copying a large number of files in one operation, the system may run out of free RAM, even on the most powerful PC with gigabytes of RAM. This bug was planned to be fixed in Service Pack 1, but the patch was never included there, so to fix the glitch you need to download a separate patch .
The message “Out of memory. There is not enough memory for complete operation ”about 17,000 files or more with“ extended ”attributes (EA) from a Vista computer to another PC ( detailed description of the problem ). The error is associated with a memory leak in the Windows OLE module and is explained by what operations Windows Explorer performs with EA files when copying them.
Of course, the bug is very specific and is unlikely to manifest itself on at least 0.01% of computers with Windows Vista, but the fact that the system may run out of memory when copying files is simply amazing.
