timmy43016 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I have a new Toshiba Sat laptop. There is nothing on it but a photo editing software. It is a dual core with 4GB RAM on Win 7 64. Lately when I log from sleep mode on I get this error message with no problem code: "Your system is running low on resources. You cannot log on as a new user Please use an account that has already been logged on." Only one account exists. All programs are closed except a web browser. This PC is clean, but the low resources message...not sure. Anyone else have this or know a fix? Googled different scenarios and all I see is restore points, but that didn't work. Also, my auto updates are not on and I have not updated for a few weeks and this is a new problem in the past couple days. No config changes that I know of since the start.

TTQ B4U Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Have you tried a Clean Boot up ? Basically you'll boot up the PC with just MS Windows stuff that's needed. No add ons or other programs and resources. I would venture that there's something in the background hogging resources and won't let go or allow the system to sleep or come back up without them still in place. Performing a clean boot like this is like step one for me if I ever have issues. Here's the drill: Test in a Clean Boot environment to see if this issue is related to interference from other services / programs: Click Start , type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue .)On the General tab, click Selective Startup .Under Selective Startup , click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.Click the Services tab, click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable All .Click OK .When you are prompted, click Restart .Log back into your Account. --------------------------------------------------- If the problem does not return while your computer is in clean boot mode, a background program is likely causing interference. You can try to determine which background program is causing the problem while the computer is in clean boot mode. --------------------------------------------------- To find the process or program at cause follow the steps starting at enable half of the Services items , from the following article: How to perform a clean boot procedure to determine whether background programs are interfering with a game or a program that you currently usehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/331796 --------------------------------------------------- To restore your Normal startup: Click Start , type msconfig in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. (If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Continue .)On the General tab, click Normal Startup .When you are prompted, click Restart .
