Anyone getting IB freezups?

Quote from CONR:

I get the exact same thing ALL the time. IB blames my provider.

I'm pretty sure it's a RAM issue, at least on my comp. I'm going to try that command line switch someone earlier suggested.

I haven't seen any IB issues this morning. You should also check the java parameters you are using to call TWS. I recently found that I did not have enough memory allocated to each TWS window. The relevant parameter is
"-Xmx512M" which allocates up to 512mb to each window. This should be adequate. My TWS performance and stability improved dramatically after that change.

How do you do that?

I get freeze-ups and I suspect RAM starvation as well. It mostly happens when I open another TWS window and then close it. For instance, if I open the account window or a chart and then close it.

The same is here. Every time I open any TWS window form or close it this freezes up the whole application. Now I am relying more on Java API to enter the trades since it never freezes.
 
One of the issues that I had back in 07 was when I upgraded to Java 6. I reverted back to latest version of 5 at the time, and never had any issues since then.
