SYMPTOMS
You may receive one of the following error messages when you try to start an application:

Not enough storage to start process.

-or-

Error #0008



CAUSE
These errors indicate you have run out of paging file space. The less RAM a system has, the more likely this is to happen.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, do one of the following:


 * Make more RAM available for the system, which allows for more paging file space (non-paged memory).

-or-
 * Use Performance Monitor to discover which application(s) are using non-paged memory in larger amounts and run them more judiciously.



MORE INFORMATION
Non-paged memory is memory that cannot be swapped out to disk. Applications can tell Windows NT how much of themselves can be placed in the non-paged pool. There is a limit to the amount of objects a system can have in non-paged memory at any time.

Additional query words: prodnt non-paged pool
