What to do about message windows low on registry space--The system has reached the maxium size allowed for the system part of the registry Additional storage requests will be ignored?

Solution to msg "LOW ON REGISTRY SPACE"FIRST: If you've already gotten this message, download NTREGOPT (http:/wwwzperiodzlarshedererzperiodzhomepagezperiodztzhyphenzonlinezperiodzde/erunt and run it. This will "compress" your registry and reduce the size greatly. This is the only "fix" I have found for this error. Using this program allows me to reboot and Windows still loads, if I do not use it, Windows does not load afterwards. I have not used the fix mentioned after this, and I don't think there is a point to using it. NTREGOPT works fine for me. Note that if this error message occurs on Windows XP or 2003 Server then the error is due to a currupted page file. These operating systems do not have a limit on the registry space. See the addendum at the end of this article.

Pls read this Article carefully and act with additional care (at your own risk) :

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

By default, RSL is 25 percent of the size of paged pool. Setting up the size of paged pool (see PagedPoolSize value of the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management) also affects the size of RSL.

You can also manually set the RSL:

1. Run the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).

2. Locate the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control.

3. Modify the value RegistrySizeLimit (create it first it if it does not already exist) to reflect the desired size, in terms of bytes.

NOTE: RegistrySizeLimit must have a type of REG_DWORD, and a data length of 4 bytes, or it is ignored. If you set the value RegistrySizeLimit to less than 4 megabytes (MB), it is forced up to 4 MB. If you set it to greater than about 80 percent of the size of paged pool, it is set down to 80 percent of the size of paged pool (it is assumed that paged pool is always more than 5 MB). If you set it to 0xffffffff the maximum size allowable (or 80 percent of paged pool, up to 102 MB) is set.

4. Shut down and restart Windows NT for changes in RSL to take effect.

Note A system restart is required after the RSL has been increased either through the graphical user interface (GUI) or the registry, because this change does not happen dynamically. If you do not restart the system, you may experience the following event:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: Userenv

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1000

Date: date

Time: time

User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: name

Description: RegLoadKey failed. Return value Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service for C:\Documents and Settings\ntuser.dat.

In Windows NT 4.0, and Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, the maximum paged pool size is 192 MB, so RSL can be a maximum of 153.6 MB. For additional information, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 142719 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142719/EN-US/) NT Reports Out of Resources Error When Memory is Available

In Windows 2000, the maximum paged pool size is approximately 370-400 MB, when you do not use the /3gb command-line switch (this makes the RSL greater than 296 MB). If you use the /3gb switch, these values remain unchanged from Windows NT 4.0.

Additional Notes on RSLRSL sets a maximum, not an allocation (unlike some other such limits in the system). Setting a large RSL will NOT cause the system to use that much space unless it is actually needed by the Registry. It also does NOT guarantee that that much space will be available for use in the Registry.

In Windows NT version 3.1, paged pool defaults to 32 MB, so the default RSL is 8 MB (enough to support approximately 5000 user accounts). In Windows NT 3.5, paged pool can be set to a maximum of 128 MB, so RSL can be no larger than about 102 MB (enough to support approximately 80,000 users; however, other system limitations might keep this number of users considerably lower).

RSL includes space in the hives themselves, as well as some of the Registry's runtime structures. Other runtime structures are either billed against standard quota, or are protected by size limits and serialization.

To ensure that you can always at least boot and edit the Registry if you set RSL incorrectly, quota checking is not turned on until after the first successful loading of a hive (that is, loading a user profile).

For all but a few domain controllers, RSL never needs to be changed.

The limitations imposed by RSL are approximate.

What tool can be used to back up the Windows registry?

To be honest, you really don't even need a tool for this. All you have to do is locate the registry hives and copy them somewhere, or even make copies in the same folder, but with other extensions.

Or you can use Regedit that comes with Windows. While it is good for exporting portions of the registry, it is not good for exporting the entire registry. Some keys or branches will be locked while you try to export them, and they will be omitted from the exported file.

Why does your computer get slow page loads?

It could be because the hard drive is fragmented and has a harder time accessing information on it. Run a defrag. To do this click Start>Accessories>System Tool> Disk Defragmenter. Also run a disk clean up which can be found in the same folder.

It also could be a virus or a bunch of spy ware or your internet could be throttled or slowed at the moment for what ever reason.

I use Auslogics Disk Defrag along with Advanced System Care : free edition and I never have a single problem with my computer.

How do you download free HP psc 1610 scanner software?

I did a search on the HP web site the only drivers that i can find for a PSC type system is that 426mb file. I really do not know why they do not have separate files for individual PSC type scanners and printers.

If the files are not on the HP web site i highly doubt you will find them, so sadly just have to download from here: http://www.hp.com/#Support

Then go through the steps of downloading the software.
