Hibernate - Insufficient Resources for the Windows API

Message

I'm not sure if this is the exact msg, but I get this when I'm trying to hibernate my laptop.

I have a T42 with 1.5 GB Memory (Model 2687-DDU).

This only "seems" to happen when I have Eclipse running.

Any ideas?

I've got the same issue when running VMware. Since the last time I ran VMware, the error disappear. I think the problem might relate to the fact that I disabled virtual memory.

It sounds like this article might apply to your situation:

I have the same exact problem and have been searching for a solution for weeks. I have searched this entire forum and have just tried the recommended link above--but both to no avail. I am fully updated already.

My system is a 26684du with 1.5gb ram. Any other suggestions?

I also receive "Insufficient Resources for the Windows API" when trying to hibernate on my T42p with 2GB of RAM. I have applied MS Hotfix, as well as SP2 but the problem still exists. Wonder if there is anything else that can be done...

There's a new kbase article describing a hotfix for this problem: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=909095

I spent about an hour on the phone with Microsoft tonight trying to get the hotfix. After speaking with 3 groups, I was finally told I would get a phone call the next day from the "research" group and they'd assist me in the installation of the hotfix. I'll report back in a day or two with the results.

I sure wish there was simply a place to download the fix from.

My problem went away in the last week, but I certainly would be interested in getting the hotfix without waiting for WinXP SP3

i called them today and had the same result as kenr... passed around for an hour only to be told that that department couldn't provide me with this particular hotfix and an engineer would have to call me back within 24 hours to assist me. microsoft call me back..... when pigs fly.

i just don't understand these "call for hotfix" things.... do they think that we are illiterate or something. why not put the hotfix online and allow the user to read the article for him/herself and decide whether or not it applies to their situation. sheesh.

The situation typically occurs when you have had several programs running at some point... making it look like memory fragmentation is the root issue.

The reason why they make you call, is that the patch is "supported" because some big company complained about the issue, so they released a patch. They make you call, because the patch isn't as well tested as it should be (it even says it may get additional testing). Consider this "beta", for all intents and purposes.

I'm personally not to sure I'd want to install it. I have the same issue now that I'm at 1.5GB. My solution has been to restart in those cases.

IMHO I don't really want to screw up my OS for this.

There's additional discussion on this topic at http://translocator.ws/2005/11/06/hiber ... sources/2/

Well, I've downloaded the Hotfix and so far no problems after hibernating 5 times in a row. I'm using T42p (2373-P1U) with 2GB of RAM.

I've also downloaded and installed the hotfix as well... and like magic, problem disappears.

Thanks for the post!!! I've been irritated with this issue for the longest time.

I just got off the phone with Microsoft and the rep claims the hotfix that is out is meant for application on WinXP systems with SP1 only. He also claims the hotfix to apply to SP2 is not ready.

So my question is, for those that have applied the hotfix already, what version of XP were you using: SP1 or SP2?

byron · #17 Post by **byron** » Thu Dec 01, 2005 11:42 am

applied patch... WinXP SP2. No problems so far.
