Out of memory issue when using counters

Hello, I have a bunch of code as seen below that will count the number of files in a folder and subfolder based on the text found in A16. It will then paste the counters in a line on a main workbook. This works fine for smaller numbers of files but upon selecting a folder with a few hundred files, an error message will appear saying it is out of memory and the counters reset to 0. To stop it pasting 0, I have a line of code which prevents this, however, the code will simply stop running at this point.
Any help is much appreciated.

Code:
 Option ExplicitSub CountFiles()
Range("A1").Value = "Type"
Range("A2").Value = "All Time"
Range("B1").Value = "Duplicates"
Range("C1").Value = "Replicates"
Range("D1").Value = "Vinyl"
Range("A4").Value = "Errors"
Dim sFolder As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
.InitialFileName = Application.DefaultFilePath & "\"
.Title = "Please select a folder..."
.Show
If .SelectedItems.count > 0 Then
sFolder = .SelectedItems(1) & "\"
End If
End With
Call Consolidate(sFolder, ThisWorkbook)
End Sub
Private Sub Consolidate(strFolder As String, wbMaster As Workbook)
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.EnableEvents = False
Dim wbTarget As Workbook
Dim objFso As Object
Dim objFiles As Object

Dim count1 As Integer
Dim count2 As Integer
Dim countZ As Integer
Dim countE As Integer

Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFiles = objFso.getfolder(strFolder).Files
Set objSubFolders = objFso.getfolder(strFolder).Subfolders


'Loop through each file in the folder
For Each objFile In objFiles
On Error GoTo linemarkerError
If InStr(1, objFile.Path, ".xls") > 0 Then 'change the file type if needed but this will do all workbooks
Application.AskToUpdateLinks = False

End With

LinemarkerC2:


linemarker2: countZ = 0
wbTarget.Close savechanges:=False
End If

If count + count1 + count2 <> 0 Then
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Range("B2").Value = count
Range("C2").Value = count1
Range("D2").Value = count2
Range("B4").Value = countE
End With
End If

'On Error Resume Next
linemarker3: Next objFile
'now for the subfolders subfolders
For Each objSubFolder In objSubFolders
Consolidate objSubFolder.Path, wbMaster
Next objSubFolder

'paste final results
If count + count1 + count2 <> 0 Then
With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets(1)
Range("B2").Value = count

In your code where it says "Dim count As Integer" ... change those lines to : Dim count As Long


See if that clears the error.

What this seems to have done is increased the number it will reach until it resets to 0. I still, however, see that the count will reset to 0 over huge folders and then carry on. Is there a level above a long that will let me do this? Thank you greatly for your help so far.

Double is on 32bit & 64bit, LongLong only on 64bit.
