XP Pro on Dual Xeon can not open many windows

[Guest CES]

I have a new Dell 690 PX with Dual Xeon processors running at 2GHz. I can

only open maybe 18 windows and then every new window I try to open does not

actually open. Clicking on the icon for Internet Explorer at this timedoes

not open IE. However, if I close any open window, I can then open a new

window.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated as many people in my department have

the same issue.

There are several variables that can affect this. Generally

is is related to the number of open files. Which verion of

Windows are you running and how much RAM do you have in your

computer?

Is it a question of handles or resources?

It's amazing what someone can find when they use Google!

According to this post:

Your situation may well be the limit of the system's capability:

got stuck so hard that even right click context menu

wouldn't seem to show up.
