Once every 3 or 4 times I get the error message:
Insufficient resources exist to complete the API
It's a yellow balloon appearing in the lower-right corner of the screen. It
happens on Windows XP with Service Pack 2. My system configuration is as
follows:
- Asus P4C800 Motherboard (i875P chipset, latest drivers installed)
- P4 3GHz CPU
- 1.5GB memory
- 14.6GB free space on system drive
Other hardware that might be of interest:
- Radeon 9800pro (ATI Catalyst 5.4 installed)
- SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS
Other drivers that might be of interest:
- VMWare 5.0
- Acronis TrueImage
- Daemon Tools
I've read numerous articles covering only this problem; not a solution. I
did find a lot of references to KB article 330909. However, this article
doesn't apply to me, since I no longer use Service Pack 1. Now, to sum up
what could NOT be the cause:
- Free space. The hiberfil.sys is always present, so enough space must be
available.
- Enough virtual memory. Irrelevant, since virtual memory is left alone when
hibernating.
- Too small hiberfil.sys. It's a fresh Windows installation that had SP2
slipstreamed. I did not upgrade after having installed Windows.
- Harddisk corrupted. My harddisk is working just fine.
Now, the question:
**How to solve this?**
And other users may want to know:
- What resources are insufficient?
- What API is failing?
- How do I fix either?
- Why is the message so cryptic? (Since it's a yellow balloon, it's clearly
meant to be read by a dumb user. And I'm not one of them)
- Why should I care? (it should not have been broken since Win2000)
- Why didn't Microsoft confirmed this? (numerous other users experience this
problem, but don't report it because they don't know how or don't care)
- Why didn't Microsoft fix this? (the problem has been around since SP1)
- Why does it work on Win2000 perfectly well? (what did MS break in XP?)
Anyway, I'll repeat, for any MVP or other expert, because I'm really on my
breaking point:
**How to solve this???**
