Remote Desktop - XP Pro SP2

Somewhere along the way today my RDP client (6.0) just quit on me... I
can't
connect to anything remotely - I'm given an "low virtual memory"
warning... which is far from the case. I can swap over to another
workstation and login everywhere without issue...

How do you know that the machine is not having a low virtual memory problem?

If the O/S is not set to *Auto control the virtual page file size*, then it
can be running out of virtual memory based on the amount that has been hard
set for the page file.

Total Physical memory (k) 2,095,468
Available - 1,200,000

PF usage - 900MB...

Commit charge: 913M/6892M

Pretty sure it has *nothing* to do with my system...

I removed the TS/RDP 6.0 client - back to 5 - now I can connect to any
server that is not set to use FIPS...

Do you know what virtual memory is about?

http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question684.htm
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308417

The message didn't come out of the clear blue sky. Either the virtual memory
page file size is set to low based on the amount of physical memory the
computer has or it's not, which should be at least 2 maybe 3 times the
amount of physical memory to be safe. OR you tell the O/S to control the
virtual page file size automatically as needed.

Tx.. there is 2GB of RAM, 5GB of page file...

I pushed it to 6GB, nothing... then 10... still nothing... set it to
OS managed.. .nothing...

I can remove the 6.0 client and use 5.1 *but* I can not connect to any
server that uses FIPS...

If the message keeps happening, then you'll need to make some adjustments.

<snipped>

Solution: I assume that you got a little balloon in the bottom right-hand
corner announcing that your virtual memory is low and that Windows is
adjusting it. If this happens just once, don't worry-as the message said,
Windows found a problem and fixed it. But if it happens repeatedly, it could
be that your settings don't allow Windows to make the necessary adjustment.
First, make sure your drive isn't overly full. In Windows Explorer,
right-click the drive icon and choose Properties. If the amount of free
space is under about 10 percent, you'll need to free up some space. You can
use the Disk Cleanup button right next to the free space indicator, or
manually move some files to off-line storage, or uninstall unnecessary
applications-whatever it takes to get more free space.


If low drive space isn't the problem, the virtual-memory settings may be
wrong. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties. Click the Advanced
tab. Click the Settings button in the Performance panel. Click the Advanced
tab in the Performance dialog. Click the Change button in the Virtual memory
panel. Whew! This setting is buried quite thoroughly! Look for the System
managed size option, select it if it isn't already selected, and then click
OK, OK, OK. That should end the warnings.

No, that is the wrong assumption - there is no indication at all about
low memory. The only notice is from the RDP 6 client - the RDP 5
client works - but not MIPS. It is a 120GB drive, there is 90GB
free....

Tried using the System Managed option too as well as giant page files
- no go.
