[IDV #YIW-865986]: IDV locking up

> Hello,
> 
> Over the past few months my IDV has been increasingly locking up.  One

> 
> I am running the latest version of IDV (5.7, 64 bit) on Windows 10
> Enterprise with 16GB RAM on a 64 bit operating system, so I don't think I
> am lacking anything in hardware capabilities.

> Any help you could provide would be much appreciated!

Hi Scott,

Without more information, I can only suggest checking the memory usage and 
setting in the IDV.

Edit > Preference, then the System tab, and check the memory allocation.

Too much or too little memory can certainly cause the IDV to lock up. The 
default memory allocation
is around 3g, and you can increase to 5 or 6 g depend on the complexity of 
displays in the IDV.
