From: alice on 24 Mar 2010 14:38 Every now and then my winXP machine at work will get into this state. It will be fine one day, I leave it on over night, and in the morning when I come in, everything I click on to try and open, files, programs, even task manager, results in one of the following errors- Insuffiecient System Resources exist to complete the requested service Application failed to initialize properly (0x000012d) (null) is not a valid Win32 application The only thing I can seem to do is reboot, and this fixes it. It happens less often lately and I can't find anything specific to narrow down when it happens. It's behind a very secure firewall, has regular anti-virus software updates and scans, windows is updated all the time, I've scanned the drive for errors. What would keep causing this and how can I stop it?

Sounds like something that is running on your system may have a memory leak. Could probably do the same corrective action with a few process killings - but as for which ones.... -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

The other replies address your issue....I am wondering why you leave the computer at work on every night. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Oct. 2002 - Sept. 2009 A+ http://dts-l.net/
