Problem
Storagecraft Image Manager uses huge amounts of memory causing the system to become very slow or unresponsive due to lack of free RAM and/or paging to disk.
Cause
We have seen this issue occur with out of date drivers, especially network interface card (NIC) drivers. The problem may be due to inefficiencies of the driver’s paged pool memory usage in Windows.
Resolution
Update all drivers to their latest versions – especially the NIC drivers.
