Groove 2007 hangs after a couple of hours

[Don]

One of my machines is invited to all of our firm's Groove 2007 workspaces (25
File Sharing and 35 Standard), basically in the roll of backup. The machine
(vista business 4gb ram, 2mHz dual-core processor) is not used for anything
else, it just sits there synchronizing all the workspaces, although it does
copy the files to a cloud backup every night and then auto-reboots 6am every
morning. Most days, Groove 2007 seems to hang mid-morning. When I view Task
Manager Processes, it's hung at 50% CPU and anywhere between 0.25-0.5GB
Memory (Private working set). I have to kill the process and restart Groove.
Normal functioning seems to load the CPU at rates fluctuating constantly
between 0% - 60%+. Any ideas as to why it's hanging?

Hi,

Do an inventory of your spaces. Are any of them over 2 GB? If so, remove
these spaces and completely restart Groove. They are not synchronizing
correctly and may be causing the performance problems.

Gregg, thanks a bunch! One workspace on that particular machine was over
2GB, but that very same workspace on all the other machines was about
1.7GB....strange, but your fix seems to have worked.
