Ron, just a quick comment about resources as per Mac's post. It isn't what you start with, it's what you finish with that's important.

A program that has a memory leak, for example, may work fine until you exit, then start it again, then exit etc. a few times. All of a sudden, you are "out of resources". Resources in this context can mean many things, not just processor speed and RAM. Registers overflow, for example, and unless you know Assembler, you aren't going to be able to follow their progress easily, although Task Manager along with other utilities can get you close. Also, this problem would not be revealed by the excellent and highly-recommend DPC Latency Checker.

The cure in Windows is to do a reboot periodically. This is something I have to force myself to do, because my Windows 7 64-bit OS running on an SSD is so stable, I have not had even one blue screen in nine months.
