I've been seeing this message a bit lately and I was wondering if there was any windows setting I could change to move the upper limit of this? I have a fairly beefy Windows XP machine with 4gb of memory and I see the resource error when I open 5 or so FB projects. Granted I keep a lot of windows open, just curious if there was any magic I could use to move the upper limit.

Windows is running out of global resources.
Some icons may not appear as expected in the FinalBuilder IDE.
To resolve the problem, close one or more open programs.

I had a look at where this error message comes from, and in our global error handler it is is explicitly handling EOutOfResources, which is a windows system error. One thing that may help is to make sure you have the latest video card driver for your system, other than that I can only suggest that you close some applications.
