Monitoring System Resources
ColdFusion Studio's extensive use of GDI and User resources under Windows 98/ME
has consistently caused problems for users on these platforms. This section
describes the problem and how to mitigate it.
For more information, also see Knowledge Base article 21011 on the Macromedia
Web site.
Releasing system resources taken at start-up
One solution is to free up resources that Windows 98/ME takes at start-up for
unnecessary programs and processes.
To release resources that Windows 98/ME takes at start-up:
1
On the Windows Start menu, click Run.
2
Type msconfig in the Run dialog box and click OK.
3
Carefully clear options that you are absolutely certain you do not need, use, or
have. Record your changes as you proceed, in case you need to change back.
4
Click Apply to save your changes.
For a useful description of memory usage on Windows 98/ME systems, see the
Windows 9.x System Resources article on InfiniSource.
After reclaiming these resources, if you still encounter difficulties with system
resources, you may benefit from configuring the Resource Level Monitor.
About the Resource Level Monitor
Version 4.5.2 introduced the Resource Level Monitor to monitor system resources
while the application is running. The Resource Level Monitor warns users when
resources reach a critical level, enabling them to save documents and close the
application before a crash occurs. However, the warning dialog box was not labeled
with the application name, so the source of the warning was not clear, and users had
to edit the Windows registry to configure the monitor.
As a result, the Resource Level Monitor has been enhanced for this release so that the
warning dialog includes the application name in the window title and in the message
text, to clearly indicate that it is generated by Studio, not Windows. Also, users can
now configure the monitor in a graphical user interface.
