Insuffic. resources for API

[William B. Lurie]

Been here before with this, don't recall that we solved it
but it went away.....and now, of course, it is back.

System periodically refuses to go into Standby or Hibernate.
HD has 15 GB used and 27 GB unused. Sometimes it does, and
sometimes it doesn't, and when it doesn't, I have a
balloon message: "Insufficient system resources exist to
complete the API". Everything looks clean, not fragmented,
chkdsk okay. Maybe some new ideas?

Hi Will,
The computer occasionally does not hibernate and you receive an
"Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API" error message in
Windows XP with Service Pack 2, in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, or in
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

Thank you for that link, Nass. It wasn't offered to me
last time around, but I downloaded, verified, did all
the good things it asked me to, and I installed it and
will now wait to see if that fixed it. The KB at least
gave symptoms and machine status I recognized. Thanks again.

Following up......it went to hibernation properly after the download
and installation......but it had worked sporadically before anyway.
The test will be as to whether it now works reliably, and I'll
report on that as time goes on. Stay tuned, and thanks again.

And now, a day later, I'm happy to report that I've given
it the opportunity to go to sleep quite a few times, and
it has acted in proper fashion every time. Now that I'm ready
to say 'thanks' once more, and close the issue, Elmer's Law
will probably go into effect, and it will go bad again. But
seriously, folks......I'll be back if it acts up again.

Wanted to let you guys know that I've had this problem too, since
upgrading from 1 GB to 3 GB RAM, and it seems only to happen if I try
to hibernate with MS Office programs open. I'm going to try the fix
too.

I'm back, Randy, and, sadly, I only have 1 GB of RAM, but the
problem is back again. I have no MS Office programs open, but
I suspect that it may be ZoneAlarm, which I recently added.
