Question

Low System Resources!!!!!????

Asked by: SundeyPSU

If i try to do any thing with video or pictures that are large files I get a message that states my system rescources are low and what ever I try fails. For example, I can be trying to save a very large file in Adobe Photoshop, scanning a picture @ anything over 1200ppi using my HP software, or trying to create a panoramic picture using Ulead Cool 360 using more than 6 pictures. The thing that bugs me is I have 4 gig of RAM in my PC (even though Windows only sees 3GB), and a P4 3.8GHz CPU AND plenty of hard drive space. What gives. I am very annoyed and ready to go to a MAC. If I look at the Task Manager, my CPU and memory usage are low when I get this message (around 400MB of RAM and 0-2% CPU usage).  Do I have a corrupt Windows install? Any ideas? I have a Windows XP Pro PC.

I would suggest to disable the option "let windows manange Virtual Memory" and give more memory at C drive for virtual memory to that system from which you got message. Remember, photoshop uses max. of 2 gig memory.

Also see the link for more infor: http://www.aumha.org/win4/a/resource.php

i bet its your disk access, is your hard drive light going crazy? if so run a defrag in case your really fragmented otherwise look into increacing the amount of system memory used as disk cache

 

by: SundeyPSUPosted on 2007-05-13 at 20:04:15ID: 19082767

HD light not going crazy, and defrag not being recommended by disk defrag.
Right now I have the VM set to 2400-4095.

I just can't belive it is system hardware limitations. I have 3 SATA 150 hard drives, 4 GB of RAM (obviously only 3 seem by XP), an Intel Extreme MB, and a P4 3.8GHz CPU. If that is not enough harware to do what I want with my scanner, video software, and photo software what the heck do I need??

 

by: SundeyPSUPosted on 2007-05-13 at 20:12:19ID: 19082784

Anyway, thanks for the responses so far. I will have to check back tomorrow.

You could consider Core 2 Duo cpu system for your work, but your current system is fairly strong enough to handle the jobs, you might have some issue that run behind from symantec product that eat up your resources in system (from the log you posted above).

Maybe it's a problem with Windows Defender or the Yahoo! Widgets thing.

Not used it in a while, but should you be using a 'scratch' disk in Photoshop? Maybe that will help...?!?

Have you tried updating your chipset and videio card drivers?

How about removing a gig of RAM. Maybe it is having a problem addressing it?

Also, you seem to have a lot running on startup. Have yu tried disabling everything;

START > RUN > MSCONFIG (click OK)
Select the 'STARTUP' tab and uncheck all the boxes, reboot and see if it helped...

 

by: SundeyPSUPosted on 2007-05-14 at 05:51:54ID: 19084603

Yea, I do have a lot running. I have a lot installed on this PC and everything seems to have it's little service/process it likes to run on start up. I will try disabling un-needed processes and try something that usually fails. In training today, so will try later. Thanks
