Re: XP resource q: No more windows can be opened

Of course, the swap file is 4 GB and not 4 MB!

Nothing looks above spec in Task Manager... swap nowhere close
to full.. physical ram nowhere close to full, cpu very low...

Thanks

I have Windows XP Pro, with 2 GB of RAM... about 1.15 MB physical RAM
used...(swap file set to max at 4 MB) yet, at a certain point, I can't
open any more new windows. Any idea what resource may be holding it
up and how to resolve the issue?

Thanks

Pagefile (swap file?) is regenerated at each boot and may eventually "be
filled" in case a computer is not rebooted once in a while. Take a look at
the Task Manager (ctrl+alt+del) where you can monitor active applications,
processes, Commit Charge, CPU usage etc on your computer.

Isn't a paging file size of 4 MB (max) a little small?
Allowing Windows to manage the size of the paging file might cure the
problem.

You're of course perfectly right - I didn't pay attention to the 4 MB, took
it for 4 GB, more as an overkill with regard to needed size/capacity.
