- You're running out of space in what's called the "User" segment. This is a
- 64k area of memory shared by all the running applications in which
- information about windows is stored. There's no way to expand this.
-
- You got *650* windows!!!! Dare one ask "why"?
-
- This is your problem. You've *got* to get rid of these windows! 10 or 20
- windows, fine. 650 - no way!
