This is a freeware application used to detect memory leaks in small as well as large scale enterprise applications, very simple and handy to use.
The first thing you need to do is to set public symbol path (srv*c:\symcache*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols). Go to open the tool and go to tools -> Options. Set the public symbol path as well as your local symbol path here, refer to the below figure:
The check box Resolve symbols when logging states whether you want to resolve the symbols at the time of logging out. This option can be checked if the application is small and doesn’t acquire much of RAM, but for applications which use huge memory space and which run on server for a long time, resolving symbols at the time of logging will not be a good option as the system hangs while collecting the stack frames and resolving symbols for each of them (In large scale applications, there can be large number of stack frames which doesn’t).
