RE: After opening so many programs, cannot open more

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Just a quick thought. Have you checked your resources when you are unable to
open anymore programs?? to do so just press ctrl+alt+delete select task
manager on task manager go to the performance tab and see how much free
memory and cpu you have. There is a strong possibility that you may be out
of memory at the times you are unable to open programs and it varies on the
number of programs you have open because different programs use different
amounts of resources. The only fix however if this is the case is to get
more RAM. Also there might be a chance that you can get by, by changing the
amount of virtual memory you have assigned to do so. Right click my computer

page file space.... however you may be low on hard drive space and this may
be an option there are many different things to consider so just check 1 at a
time.
