Windows error message, "Insufficient windows resources exist to complete the API"

I put my computer to sleep at night. When I arrive in the morning, I find it is already turned on (WHY?) ... and there is a little error-message box by the taskbar that reads: "Insufficient windows resources exist to complete the API"  What could be causing this?

wlsimon,

Have you checked that link.
It is a hotfix from Microsoft for this behaviour.
It has fixed up alot of people.

I think personally they did not know how to go into BIOS as per nobus's option.
They did not answer if they did mine.
We both had good ideas that could have helped/fixed it.
Delete no points refunded as it stands would be my call.

Nobus your thoughts?

Terry.
