See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;824422 While this knowledge base article refers to SQL server, in reality it could apply to almost any application. Make a backup of that key before tinkering with it and I strongly suggest only doing the above if you are an advance computer user.
Which to edit? hi, thanks to reply so soon. I have come to the above web page and backup the registry in my window, but according to the instruction from the page : "In the Edit String dialog box, locate the SharedSection parameter string in the Value data box, and then specify a larger value for the SharedSection parameter. Note The SharedSection parameter specifies the system and desktop by using the following format, where <xxxx> defines the maximum size of the system-wide heap (in kilobytes), <yyyy> defines the size of the per desktop heap, and <zzzz> is the size of the desktop heap for each desktop that is associated with a non-interactive Windows station: SharedSection=<xxxx>,<yyyy>,<zzzz> " It seems that, my <zzzz> means 512. So, what or which code i should modify now? Hereby, attach with my dialog box: %SystemRoot%\system32\csrss.exe ObjectDirectory=\Windows SharedSection=1024,3072,512 Windows=On SubSystemType=Windows ServerDll=basesrv,1 ServerDll=winsrv:UserServerDllInitialization,3 ServerDll=winsrv:ConServerDllInitialization,2 ProfileControl=Off MaxRequestThreads=16
I have format my computer and reinstall Window XP yesterday. The same cd works in my friend computer, but not mine. The error remain the same. Any idea? pls.
No two computers are alike. Just because something behaves on one PC doesn't mean it behaves the same on another. My hunch at the moment is leaning towards your graphics card, however I know that particular card is DirectX 9 ready.
ok. MangerJosh, i think u r right. Attached with someone reply: "very low chance with graphic-CHIP (no card!) VIA Chrome9 HC IGP Family" thanks for your advise anyway.
