Error on buffer in memory (solved by limitation of size)

I updated from some 6.4x Version to 6.49.8 and then 6.51.7. In both versions, all of a sudden, I'm having this error, when Time Shift Buffer is set to Memory. If I set it to disk, it is working.
When the message box pops up, Time Shift is disabled, but TV program is running.
It worked before -> update (over-install) -> does not work anymore. Only additional thing that has changed is, that I included the Media Server(home) during install. But even if I disable it in the Modul setup, the error stays.
Can someone help me out? I could try, downgrading again and/or deleting the Media Server, but I'd like to solve the problem on this version, if possible.

Hm. I have 1-2 more reports about that problem. Please try disable all modules in ProgDVB. You can remove modules\*.module for 100% sure.

I tried disabling every module. I never used the "Internet Gate" anyway. And I disabled the other 2 PID recorder and Media Server. Now I moved the .Module files away from the folder.
Nothing helped.
My system is mainly an Athlon64 X2, Hauppauge HVR-3000, Windows XP SP3.

Also please try change demultiplexor.
When you have this message? After start or after 10 minutes or?

What size have you set for the timeshift buffer? I have this message if I set it over 600 MB due to x32 memory limitation. Any value under 600 MB works fine.

I have this error immediately after start or after applying the Time Shift Settings (to Memory) in the Options. It is always disabled directly.
There is no 600MB limitation to 32bit systems. This is 4GB.
The memory size I use is 512 and worked before.

500-600 mbyte is near max. size for x32. Do you have same message with 100mbyte buffer?

Okay.
Btw. Changing the demultiplexer did not help. I tried out all 4.
Setting Time-Shift buffer to 30MB works! Why has the limit decreased from 512?
I found a limit for Version 6.51.7: 495 MB.
I can't say which settings also have influence on the possible size.

The last versions of ProgDVB use seem to be using more memory for this reason the timeshift buffer decreased.
Shaker1978 can you help me with a bug that I have on XP? Is my problem described in this post:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5940 reproducible on your system too?

Sure, I will try that for you. But I will try that later, now I have only VNC access to my ProgDVB-PC. Your steps look too complicated for the slow connection I have

But what error you have? May be really problem in memory size. Because impossible use block more 500-600-700 mbyte in win32 application. No problem in x64.

I have the newest version of progdvb professional on win7 with 32 gb ram, timeshift buffer set to 0 and randomly get the message to change my buffer settings. This is not acceptable for a paid software that has been in developement for so many years. I am very dissapointed.

Please send timeshift size to 200-300mbytes.
disabled=minimum size. But minimum size is not always good.
