SYMPTOMS

You develop an application that uses the SetICMMode function. In this application, the SetICMMode function is frequently called when the second parameter is set to the ICM_ON constant. When you run this application on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows Server 2008-based computer, the system memory is quickly exhausted.

When the issue occurs, the private working set for the corresponding process increases.

Note This issue does not occur in Windows XP or in Windows Server 2003.
