In this program, I am creating a new image every loop. After drawing it, I want to free it again. I want to use this for (2d) scaling purposes.
However, in the task manager, I see the memory amount of the program going up. What could be wrong ?

Graphics 800, 600, 0, 3

;create image
im2 = CreateImage(640, 480)
SetBuffer ImageBuffer(im2)
For i = 0  To 1000
Color 0, 0, Rand($FFFFFF)
Oval Rand(640), Rand(480), 64, 64
Next

SetBuffer BackBuffer()

;main loop
Repeat

	;create new image
	im3 = CreateImage(64, 64)
	
	;copy a part of image2 onto it
	CopyRect Rand(320), Rand(240), 64, 64, 0, 0, ImageBuffer(im2), ImageBuffer(im3)
	
	;draw the new image
	DrawImage im3, Rand(800), Rand(600)
	
	;free the image
	FreeImage im3
	im3 = 0

Flip

Until KeyHit(1)

End

Are you using the latest version? I think there was a memory leak with images a few versions ago.
