Re: Free System Page Table Entries In SBS 2003

Hi Gordon,

Thanks for your reply.

Although after you turned on the /3GB switch, the issue was resolved, it
not commanded to do so. You can see the detail explanation in "Why this is
important" part of the following article:

Using the /3GB Switch with SBS 2003
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2006/06/30/439628.aspx

At this point, a suggestion is to remove the /3GB switch and continue our
troubleshooting steps. You can also add physical RAM (SBS 2003 R2 supports
maximum 4GB) if possible.

You and make a clean boot as I suggested in my previous reply. Also please
try the following:

Step 1: Please logon as another administrator account to see if the problem
can be reproduced. If not, the problem is related to user profile.

Step 2: Please log on the system in Safe Mode to see the problem can be
reproduced.

I am looking forward to hear from you.

If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Li(MSFT)
