desktop heap in windows XP

[Guest]

hi,

on windows XP, can somebody tell me please...
Does the task manager has a bug or what ? I've 512 M RAM and 1GB
free disk space . VERY minimal process are running. The task manager shows
commit as 257M/1850M But still I get
--- "Not enough storage to complete this operation"

I checked registry and increased sharedSection under
hklm/.../CurrentControlSet/SessionManager/SubSystem/windows to
1024,6250,1024 but No help.
I still see the problem. The process memory for this process is just 236M.
The handles my app. create is 267. Paged size is 23K and nonpaged is 3K
But I still get out of memory ..

Not sure Why WHy ... is this a bug in win32 Api or win32 OS

Could somebody help me out ? we are in the final stage of a very expensive
project.

thanks a lot

When you say "very minimal processes are running", does that mean that
you are also sure the computer is 100% spyware and virus-free?

a programming project ? i've gotten this error when it appears that there's
no reason to while working on programming project's. it always boiled down
to something in my code.

if so, i'd say that there some bugs in it still that need to be worked out.

what language ? try one of those groups.

regards,

When was the last time you cleared your Temp and TIF? Did you clear out the
recycle bin following the clearing.

Thanks to Malke, DanS, Ron.

Here are the clarifications:

- Regarding minimal processes -
Yes! I'm also sure that the computer is 100% spyware and virus-free!

- Programming project: Yes It is in vc++
What's the community to post this kind of question ... (the problem ,
I'm facing)
I'm calling win32 CreateWindowEx() api. It returns error code 14 which
is
out of memory error. It comes after certain iterations.

- Clearing temp . I 've done that. But I did not care of TIF. I'll clear
that to
and see.

In addition to the above, the desktop heap that I mentioned previously here
(the change through ) registry eleminated the OutOf memory on NT. Yes.
But the same problem did not go away on XP or 2000.
There is a MS KB article on desktop heap for NT. But it appears to me that
it's not holding good for win2K and XP

Any insights ?

Thanks again!

Presumably that is against 'SharedSection' in that value (and I hope
you have not lost any of the string after that). I doubt very much if
it is advisable to increase the second item above the standard 3072 and
certainly not above 4096, the limit of the memory architecture, not to
have the third item equal to the first. I would put that back to the
standard 1024,3072,512 and look elsewhere.

I would not expect running into the page file max to give that message
(which more usually implies trouble with something in the 16 bit
subsystem and 'conventional memeory' - but check on what the max page
file setting actually is

Or it may be a comment from the compiler library indicating that you
have not allocated enough memory to some function it uses
