memory problems ??? (ram and graphic)

hello, im having a problem with windows xp in terms of memory i think

windows xp pro sp2
p4 2.4ghz
512mb rimm
256mb graphic card

i use currently some open applications like 5 mircs and 2 or 3 flashfxp programs open and some other applications that dont use many of the computer

the problem is if i keeping open some channels and chats on mirc or flashfxp's it says error creating window, seems my system is missing memory, but i have like 200mb free on task manager

i tried to raise the graphic apperture size on bios to 128mb and 256mb but seems the error continues

if possible try to help me this is really weird :|

 

Hello Batista,

First, check memory and see if any problem with it http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

Another check: a potential problem with SP2 and the number of connections permitted per second: http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497

I don't know whether this affects you or not, but a good idea to look in the event viewer to see what kind of errors are being logged by the system.

start > run > eventvwr.msc > ok

Look for any line that has a red error symbol or yellow warning shield in any of the 3 categories: Application - Security - System.

well i checked memory nothin bad

i already had tcp/ip set to 500 connection

on event logger nothin there ... :|

i think this is about a type of graphical memory just cant explain

on mic gives error * Unable to create window (when i try to open a chat or join new channel)

on flashfxp in this case, says the computer dont have resources :|

i have virtual memory set to system managed size

 

on flashfxp in this case, says the computer dont have resources :|

i have virtual memory set to system managed size

Have you looked in Task Manager > process tab? What's the RAM and VM usage?

Hi Batista,

Thanks for posting the TM images.

Ok, something wrong with FF - I've never seen that kind of usage figure!

Have you tried IE to see if that same sort of thing happens?

FF is very loaded because i had like 30 tabs loaded into one, so forget about it


this is about windows.. :|


on flashfxp appears

Error reading cbResume.Items.Strings: Win32 Error. Code: 14.
Not enough storage is available to complete this operation

 

Not enough storage is available to complete this operation

No way to know exactly what caused that one since it can be overload of a number of system things. Quite a few FlashFXP versions have triggered the error but usually when there were 8-25 sessions depending on the particular PC and it's available resources.

I agree with charlesvar about the numbers shown for FF being abnormal. It should not be throwing that many page faults. At all. Ever. Regardless of how many tabs are populated. That is not to say that there is anything wrong with a FF browser or that you should consider moving back to an untabbed application for normal use but something is busted and needs to be fixed.

For openers, you could do with more memory. About double what you have now would be good as a starting point. No way to tell from the data posted but if you have a PC with the video as part of the MB like many of the OEM low-cost systems you may have even less than you think because the video is using system memory.

Take a look Here for a quick review of memory use and Firefox.

There may also be errors within your pagefile so try a probram like MoveOnBoot that does deletions while the OS isn't using stuff and select to delete your pagefile. A fresh, new one will be created when you reboot.

 

Hi Batista,

this is about windows.. :|

I suggested trying with IE in order to pin this down. If no problem with IE, that would tell you what to concentrate on.
