SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario. You try to create a very large file in Microsoft Windows XP by moving the file pointer to the end of a file. Then you call the SetEndOfFile function. In this scenario, the SetEndOfFile function fails with error 1450 &quot;ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES&quot;.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the cache manager cannot allocate any more memory for the file caching.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, open the file by using the FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag. Then try to call the SetEndOfFile function until the SetEndOfFile function succeeds.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
