insufficient resources

[KevCar]

I am getting insufficient resources on a number of machines. Rebooting
solves it. Its happens at random. The only common thing I can see is when
the kernel memory paged gets to over 162,000 is when the error occurs. I
have switched to the system managing the memory and that has slowed it down
a lot. All these machines are from HP, and have 1 gig of ram. I reloaded one
of them and it too had the same issue. I tried using a different anti virus
as well. Most of these machines are just office users running Office and
Act. One that was not running act also had the same issue. I am really
stumped as to trace what is causing this. One person suggested a bad switch
but I have doubts about that. They are in a AD 2003 domain with one server.

Try Ctrl+Alt+Delete to select Task Manager and click the Performance
Tab. Under Commit Charge what is the Total, the Limit and the Peak?

The Total is the memory currently being used , the Peak is what it has
been and the Limit is the amount available i.e RAM and pagefile. Given
that the Total and the Peak are less than the RAM it is likely
that the system is only making nominal use of the slower pagefile.

You can do a better check on pagefile usage using pagefilemon.

Use page file monitor to observe what is the peak usage. Start it to run
immediately after start-up and look at the log. Pagefilemon takes
snapshots. You need to run it at the beginning of the session at then
run it again at intervals throughout the sessions. The log is Pagefile
log.txt. If you right click on the file in Windows Explorer and select
Send to, Desktop (Create Shortcut). The same applies to
XP_PageFileMon.exe.

A small utility to monitor pagefile usage:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

Note that programs using undo features, particularly those associated
with graphics and photo editing, require large amounts of memory so if
you use this type of programme check these first observing how the page
usage increases when they start and whether the usage decreases when you
close the programme.

Are these computers left on 24/7?

Thanks. It turns out it was a Trend Micro anti virus program causing it.
