Resource Problems
CAUTION
It is possible to exceed Windows 95/98 allocated resource levels by opening
too many windows while running your Wireless Solutions system. This will
cause erratic behavior of the application and require the operator to reboot the
operating system in order to recover. This will also corrupt an open Wireless
Solutions database, with potential loss of data. Windows 95/98 will not
display any warning or feedback when this occurs.
The number of allowable open windows is dependent on the types you
choose, as different windows require varying amounts of Windows 95/98
resources. The maximum number of windows is approximately 12, although
up to 14 can be opened in certain configurations.
To provide the maximum amount of available Windows 95/98 resources to the
measurement application, it is strongly recommended that you close all other
applications before running the Wireless Solutions software. This includes all
applications found in the Startup folder. It is also recommended that you run
the Windows 95/98 resource meter in a minimized configuration in order to
monitor available remaining resources.
To start the Windows 95/98 resource meter
1. Choose Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Resource Meter.
The Resource Meter dialog box appears.
