Alt key got stuck, every S sent the post.
I have 21 processes at bootup (that's very much below average). Therefore the contract is that I can provide these programs with approx 44 GiBytes of virtual memory. Most programs don't use that much of course.
When a program is loaded it is allocated all the space it COULD need in the page file. If there is not enough space free in the page file the program doesn't start. Likewise one a program starts and requests memory if it can't be serviced the program will error or crash.
