When you do a File/About from the program manager and it displays free system resources as a percentage, exactly what is going on? Where does Windows get this figure from? Is it the ratio of free memory versus available system memory? Just wonderin' - Manuel M. Flores U15803@UICVM

Is it the ratio of free memory versus > available system memory? Free system resources really have nothing to do with available system memory. It refers to the limit of 8192 "windows" open at once. It usually happens that you run out of these resources before you run out of memory; if this happens, you cannot open additional programs, even if memory is available.
