Windows System Error on a Toshiba Tecra

I am running Windows XP on a Toshiba Tecra laptop.

After at least an hour of usage, I see the following message when I
attempt to "Hiberate".

Windows System Error
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the API

At this stage, "Hibernate" is not an option and I can either "Logoff"
or "Shutdown".

Has anyone seen this occur and is there a suggested workaround to
resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance.

Personally, I would advise against downloading and running any program that
claims to fix computer problems by scanning your system's registry for errors.
Unless you are very familiar with the Windows registry, it's possible that you
will allow the program to delete an entry that will cause more problems than you
already have.

Here's a possible solution provided by Microsoft that you might want to try
first.

The computer occasionally does not hibernate and you receive an "Insufficient
System Resources Exist to Complete the API" error message in Windows XP with
Service Pack 2, in Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, or in Windows XP Media
Center Edition 2005

Here's a link to the file noted in that article.

Update for Windows XP (KB909095)

I installed the patch identified below to fix the hibernation issue.

Now I see a new issue where a blue screen with a title "BAD MEMORY
POOL" confronts me somewhat intermittenly.

Thanks for any pointers to fix this issue.

Any advice I could pass along for this new problem would be a guess since I'm
not familiar with that error message. The first thing that comes to mind is that
it may refer to virtual memory which could indicate a problem with your hard
drive. The first step when confronted with HD problems is to run chkdsk /r from
a command prompt. You could also check the hard drive manufacturer's web site
and see if they have a diagnostic utility that you can download and run.

Before taking any action, you might want to post a new question to this
newsgroup asking for help with this error message. Include as much information
as possible including the exact text of the error message.

Good luck
