What are resources ?
Basically System, User & GDI are a segment of memory that Windows allocates for all the applications you have running. This is a limited set of memory regardless of how much memory you have installed on your PC. These resources are used by applications for such things as icons, bitmaps, menus, window frames, scrollbars, etc.
Since these resources are limited you need to monitor these especially when running multiple applications simultaneously or Multi-tasking.
When the resources get too low bad things start to happen such as menu, icons and windows not being draw or updated applications freeze or even lock the whole system.
When these resources drop below 45% it's a good idea to shut down any applications you are not using.


That's why I created this utility to monitor this severe limitation in Windows OS. This is only a limitation in Windows 3.1, 95 & 95, Windows NT does not suffer from this problem.

This also a good way to catch misbehaving applications. You can see how much memory they consume while running and release when closed.
