I have been trying to sync (echo mode) some directories with Synctoy 2.1 x64 on Windows 7 x64. The comparison/scanning phase is fine, but when it gets to the sync phase (where it deletes and copies files), Synctoy absolutely chews up all my memory! The system eventually is so unstable that I need to turn it off at the wall in order to continue working. I have uninstalled my virus scanners, and I still have the issues. [[I have not tried the 32-bit version.]] EDIT: I just tried the 32-bit version. Instead of eating up all my memory, and then slowing down my computer to an un-usable crawl, I got the message: "... Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000E (E_OUTOFMEMORY))" My machine has 4GB of RAM, which should be enough, I would assume? Does anyone else have these problems, and perhaps a solution? -------- On another un-related note, I absolutely hate how SyncToy automatically loads and expands the entire directory tree when going into the 'choose subdirectory' screen. Start collapsed, and use highlighting and colour to indicate which folders may have changed since the last scan so that the user can assess whether they want to also sync or delete new subdirectories, or have a 'changes only' view -------- Hopefully Microsoft will read this and investigate / make the changes for Synctoy 2.2
