• Check box Ask about restarting XHE after leaks displays a dialog box with a question about restarting the program due to lack of RAM for its operation.
• Check box Ask about restart XHE and script after memory leaks displays a dialog box with a question about restarting the program along with the script being executed due to lack of RAM for its operation.
