How do I free up resources in win16 subsystem

by chad_t . Updated 19 years, 1 month ago

I have an application that I use for keeping my expense reports, Qxpense. When try to start it, I get the following warning, and the procedure terminates:
“Win 16 Subsystem has insufficient resources to continue running. Click Ok… restart machine.”

Other than “rebooting”, and/or stopping services, I’m looking for what options I have to try and reclaim the resources I need.

Here’s my specs:
Toshiba Techra w/Core Duo Centrino @1.5Ghz
XP SP2, all current updates, etc.
1.5 GB RAM
Virtual memory set to 2048 (fixed)
A couple of tweaks in the past to not swap/page O/S memory, etc.
*Rarely* reboot this system

Current memory use (reported by Taskman.exe):
PF Usage: 1.03 GB
Total Physical: 1563820K
Avail physical: ~ 625000K
System Cache : ~ 815000K
Total Kernel : ~ 174164K
Paged Kernel : ~ 122800K
NonPaged Kern : ~ 51248K

Any suggestions appreciated.
