computer beeps at me while running screen-scraper

Brent said: "At times screen-scraper seems to stop working and my computer starts beeping. What's wrong?" (good question taken from past experience, also in faq)

This is most likely happening because screen-scraper is running out of memory. For example, if you're scraping large amounts information from a web site with multiple concurrent running scraping sessions, screen-scraper may need to keep a lot of information in memory while it does so. Here are possible ways to remedy this problem:
Lower the number of concurrent running scraping sessions. This setting can be changed by selecting "Settings" from the "Option" menu and selecting the "General" tab.
Increase the memory allocation to screen-scraper. Again, this can be changed under the "General" tab of the "Settings" dialog box.
