Windows (GDI?) Resource limit

[Guest Stew-P]

Hi,

 

I'm a developer and I often have a lot of applications open, some probably

quite heavy on resources. But I have a PC I believe which should be capable.

 

I often get into the state where I try to access a menu and it won't appear

or hit a keyboard shortcut to do a search or print etc and nothing happens -

that is until I realise and close a window.

 

When this happesn it is quite annoying as I usually need everything I have

running. Does anyone know where this issue is documented? There are a few in

my office with the same problem so there must be many more like us out there.
