Prashanth,

One thought that comes to mind:

This filter is known for being demanding in memory allocation.

So, the following questions may help


1) What is the size of your image ?

2) How much RAM do you have ?

3) Could you please open the Task Manager, and monitor the memory
consumption as the executable is running ?



This may help to get a sense of whether the problem is related to running
out of memory.


   Thanks

       Luis
