Hibernate - "Insufficient system resources exists to complete the API"

[Guest BillW50]

Since upgrading my laptop from 1GB to 2GB, I now sometimes receive the

following error whenever I try to hibernate.

 

Windows - System Error

Insufficient system resources exists to complete the API.

 

Once this error pops up in the system tray, hibernation option isn't

available again until a system reboot. Seems to happen about 50% of the time

when you try to hibernate. Any ideas? I'm thinking about downgrading the

memory to 1.5GB. LOL

The computer occasionally does not hibernate and you receive an

"Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API" error message

in Windows XP with Service Pack 2, in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005,

or in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=909095

 

It would appear that you may not have installed the SP3 update? Why not?

Thanks McCarty! Seems to have done the trick. Now Aston2 Panel

(http://www.astonshell.com) crashes whenever I press my power button and I have it

set to ask me what to do. I don't know if it was doing this before the fix

or not. Always something, eh?

Hi Gerry! When I was younger in the 80's and 90's. I was a big believer in

using the latest code. But now I am older and wiser and I let the younger

ones screw up their computers first. And I sit waiting until the manufacture

gets most of the bugs out first before I try it (if ever). ;-)

 

For example, I never had a computer take SP2 well at all. As it caused all

sorts of problems installing on a SP1 machine (I quit after failures on 4

different machines). I hated it. But later you could buy Windows XP install

discs with SP2 already installed and they work just fine. Even on those same

machines.

I am also cautious but most of the answers regarding SP3 are now known,

What year was your computer new?

 

My point was made because Hotfix 909095 is in the SP3 update.

Hi Gerry. Yes so true. Well I use 4 laptops mostly, I have more. But the

four I use the most are two Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) and two Asus EEE PC

('08 era). All four use Windows XP SP2.

Oops! It came back again last night. Although I was running Aston2 Panels. I

don't know if it reoccurs with the stock desktop yet.

It still does it in the stock Windows without Aston. Although if I close

Windows Media Player v10 first, it seems to go into hibernation every

time. Keeping fingers crossed.

Actually later I learned it was anything over 1GB installed. The hotfix

didn't work. Although I finally think I have a fix. And that was to turn off

the pagefile. Now hibernation works very well again. Currently I have 1.5GB

installed and that is about 800kb more than I need anyway.

I don't know anything about your hibernation problem, and I don't use

hibernation myself. But if you are running with the page file turned

off, it's a bad mistake.

 

Here's my standard post on this subject:

 

1. If you don't have a page file, you can't use all the RAM you have.

That's because Windows preallocates virtual memory in anticipation of

a possible need for it, even though that allocated virtual memory may

never be used. Without a page file, that allocation has to be made in

real memory, thus tying up that memory and preventing it from being

used for any purpose.

 

2. There is never a benefit in not having a page file. If it isn't

needed, it won't be used. Don't confuse allocated memory with used

memory.

 

If you have more memory than you need, some of the above may not be

completely pertinent to you, but I still think turning off the page

file shouldn't be done, since there is always a possibility that it

may hurt you.

Hi Ken! Yes I understand your concern if you don't have enough RAM, turning

off the pagefile will only makes things worse. And I would have virtually no

experience with turning off pagefiles, except I own five Asus EeePCs

nowadays and having a pagefile on SSD (solid state drive) is a really *big*

disaster!

 

So virtually everybody with SSDs and running Windows XP turns off the

pagefile. Although you *must* have enough RAM to do so. Otherwise Windows

will stop and pop up error messages. The reason why you would want to turn

off the pagefile with SSDs are:

 

1) SSD are very slow to write compared to hard drives. Thus performance goes

downhill very fast. Although they can be faster than hard drives when

reading. One trick is to use MS EWF, which routes all writes to the SSD to

the RAM instead. Thus you can save it all just before shutting down or

ignore all writes together and just dump them.

 

2) SSD writes reduces their life. The number that gets thrown around a lot

is 100,000 times. So having anything written to a SSD over and over again

unnecessary will just shorten their existence.

 

Okay fine I know all of this. But I have later expanded this to my other

computers as well. And watching your memory usage, if you never run out... I

never saw one single problem (and the performance is great). And since the

most RAM I ever I had in use was still less than 1GB, that is all I ever

needed for a Windows XP machine so far. If you run something like Firefox

with all of its memory leaks, you will probably run out of memory very

quickly. But I rarely use FF for anything (or other memory leakers), so it

isn't important to me.

 

The reason for a pagefile is to give your OS and applications more RAM then

you actually have installed in your system. This was a very good idea back

in its day, since RAM prices were high and motherboards couldn't accept

enough RAM to run everything anyway. Although things are changing and the

need for pagefiles and virtual memory days are numbered. We don't have such

limitations anymore. And more and more people are realizing that they don't

need one. Plus it only slows down your system when you don't need it anyway.
