Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

Sometimes, for example, when I open 20 IE windows on my
Win XP machine, IE behaves very strange. I go to
www.yahoo.com, see it started for a moment and then
replaced with "Page not found" or only part of the page is
displayed.

Plus, when I click in Windows Explorer on one of the
network drives (shared drives on other computers networked
via SMC Barricade router) I get the following message:

"Insufficient system resources exist to complete the
requested service."

What could be the problem? What resources is it talking
about? I have 512 meg of RAM there and Task Manager says
that 200 meg are still available!

Thank you very much for your help,

alex

P.S. I just scanned the machine with the latest virus
definitions of Norton AntiVirus - no virus found.

Alex,

only 200 MB? Are you sure you haven't run against the limit
earlier, when installing or reinstalling Windows or something
else?

Hans-Georg,

Thank you very much for responding.

<<only 200 MB? Are you sure you haven't run against the

What limit are you referring to?

Thanks again,
alex

Alex,

sorry for my unclear formulation. I meant, could it be that your
disk ran full earlier during some installation or
reinstallation? That could explain defective or missing program
files.

Hans-Georg,

<<could it be that your disk ran full earlier during some
installation >>

No, I have plenty of space on my 60 gig hd

Thanks again,

Alex,

what kind of Internet connection do you use? Does it, by any
chance, go through a USB port?

Do you have all current updates for both Windows XP (like
service pack 1) and for Internet Explorer (like the cumulative
security patch) installed?

Hans-Georg
 
<<Does it, by any chance, go through a USB port?>>

No, I use SMC router. YEs, all the patches are installed.

Hans-Georg, I am mostly interested in understanding what
this message means and what are the system resources it is
referring to.

Thank you again,
alex

Alex,

the message means that a service is running out of some system
resource like paged pool memory, system registry keys, or the
like.

Unfortunately this knowledge is not very useful, because such
errors most likely are the consequence of something else going
wrong, and it is rarely obvious what that something else might
be.

You can find more on this through the following link, if you're
interested. You could also look for the error codes 1450, 1451,
and 1452.

Sorry for not knowing the solution. Perhaps somebody else has an
idea and chimes in.
