This is especially likely to happen if you have chosen a large number of channels. You can work around this problem by telling FreeGuide to use more memory. (Thanks to Rick Brown for this solution.) How you do this depends on what operating system you are using: Linux, FreeBSD, etc.Create a file in your home directory called ".freeguiderc", and make it look like this:
If that doesn't work, try a larger number, for example "-Xmx512m". If it still doesn't work, please Contact Us and we'll try to work out what is going wrong. Windows
