Win 16 Subsystem
in [Windows XP Users]

From: Olivier Bellemare on 18 Mar 2005 13:53 Hello there. My problem is that whenever I try to run an application NOT designed for windows XP, I get this error: "The Win 16 Subsystem has insufficent resources to continue running. Click on OK, close your applications, and restart your machine." I tried to restart my machine but it doesn't help at all. Is there a way to fix this? I searched all over the internet and couldn't find a thing. I'm counting on you guys.

There is nothing you can do in XP about this. 16-bit applications are handled by what is best described as an emulation layer, which you will see in Task Manager as "wowexec" (stands for windows on windows). If the application does not control it's use of memory the wowexec can burst it's banks. XP limits resourses to the wowexec to guard against memory leaks, crappy code or malicious intent. Can you really not get a newer version of this program? What is it?

One of these files is missing (or damaged) in C:\Windows\System32: ýConfig.nt ýAutoexec.nt ýCommand.com Copy the missing files from C:\Windows\Repair -- If there is a Tourist Season, how come we can't shoot them?

They're not remotely interested in what you say -- only that they've provoked a response. It serves no purpose to the group and does absolutely nothing to reduce the problem. The best "solution" is to simply killfile without a word and move on. After all, a troll that can't get a rise from its target audience is a failure in the eyes of its peers. |
