Windows System Resources has little to do with hardware RAM or even hard drive space. Windows resources refers to a very SMALL amount of cache called the "System Arena". Bottom line is that you are running to many TSR's, and when you try to start a program you are actually USING the "Potential TSR's" have hogged up all the space. Search this Forum for keyword "MSCONFIG" Windows utility that allows you to disable all TSR's that start when Windows starts. Personally, I just Edit the Registry to eliminate useless TSR's, but even Microsofts Highest Level Tech Suipport Engineers wont go there
