a little history, got a box was erroring out on a regular basis (wcg projects) p4 2ghz, 768 mb ram, 100 gb hd, 80 gb free, no real reason, The system cannot find the path specified. (0x3) - exit code 3 (0x3). I set this up approx 6 weeks ago, full format/reload.
I do have an old win98 app (the reason this box lives) that is not XP compatable (by the manf) that I had to club a bit to make it run, blamed it for the errors. happened to be on site when it errored out tonight, was a vm error (not enough memory), but only when a certian facebook app was run, was told, "oh it always does that when I go there" This box had come to me with 256MB ram, i set it up, was slow as frozen mud, contacted the owner, recommened memory upgrade, added 512 mb, tested/worked great I checked vm settings tonight, was set to custom, 192 mb initial, 384 mb max, I had never checked vm settings, thought win xp default was "by system". I can only guess that vm was set during initial setup with 256 mb ram and did not change with added memory, as of course, no one has touched it, which I am 90% sure is true. moral of this story is, if you have xp, and run facebook apps and have problems with wcg erroring out, check your vm settings |

First I heard that XP sets a VM ceiling, even the floor of 192Mb is obscure (75% of original RAM), but will certainly create an FAQ index item x-linking to your post as a heads up, warning to check this in the Systems Control Panel, Performance, Advanced Tab (or wherever it may be under different Windows OSses).

----------------------------------------thanks PS and OT: Used to use PageDefrag now and then under XP and Vista, but can't get it to run under W7, not 32 nor 64 bit. Speeds up systems quite a bit. For longer had it set to fixed oversized (and some having security concerns with that... stored sensitive information, of any kind).

A little more info to fill in the blanks, when this fb app was run, it gave a "application c:\program......\hpf has attempted to exit in an unusual way" error from windows, with a fb error "insufficant memory" under it, clicking the ok button on either one closed both error windows, and ie. While it was a HPF wu that burned last night (with 14.93 hrs on it) this box has also errored on HFCC, FAAH and I believe all others.
