Monitoring system resources

Using the Resource Level Monitor

This section explains how to respond to warnings and how to configure the monitor.
Responding to warnings
A warning dialog box appears if your available Windows Graphics Device (GDI) or
user resources drop below your default warning thresholds. For example, it appears
if your default warning threshold for GDI resources is 15% and your available GDI
resources drop to 14%.
For best results, save your work, even if you choose to continue. If you continue, the
warning dialog box closes and does not appear again unless your system resources
drop another 5%; for example, when your GDI resources drop to 9%.
Configuring the monitor
You should configure the Resource Level Monitor if your system crashes without
having been warned, or if you are being warned frequently or unnecessarily. You can
adjust monitor options until you find a stable level for your computer.
