Insufficient System Resources

I got the attached error message when trying to start the filter editor. After I got the error, I tried to start the editor again, and it started with now problems.

Also, I checked, and my C: drive only has 500 megs of free space. I am running Filter Force on my D: drive (with 15 gigs of free space) And my Windows page file does not use C: But Filter Forge does store its XML (and possibly other files) on my C: drive. I don't know if there is a connection, but I thought I would mention this.

I've had that too, and after only about 10 minutes! I'm "only" running it in 256MB, but it managed to crash with only half that used.

( Note: Sorry for bumping an old post but this is what comes up when I Google the problem. )

This is some kind of permissions problem, one thing is being run as administrator in Vista and the other is being run in user mode. This seems to happen every single time I update Filter Forge.

First Method:
----------------

1. The objective is to run Firefox in Administrator mode and get a filter to work.
2. Close Firefox, but somehow save these instructions if necessary.
3. Right click the Firefox icon and select properties.
4. On the tabs at the top select "Compatibility"
5. In the box at the bottom that says "Privilege Level" check the box that says "Run this as an administrator"
6. Start up Firefox and open a filter from Filterforge.com, if this works, it is now fixed.
7. Disable the Administrator mode in Firefox's shortcut after it works once, it should be fixed at least until the next Filter Forge update.

Note: It is generally a very bad idea to run Firefox in Administrator mode as it gives hackers an edge to break into your computer, so make sure it is turned off once Filter Forge works.

Second Method:
----------------
The other method I did to fix it, that doesn't need to use Administrator privileges, but it is quite tedious and will nuke Firefox's settings and bookmarks.

WARNING: obviously back your bookmarks up, please don't blame me, you've been informed!!

1. Totally uninstall Firefox, including bookmarks and any personal settings.
2. Totally uninstall Filter Forge, yes scary I know but it left all my filters in tact, should back those up occasionally as well but that's not necessary at the moment.
3. Install Firefox, and then Install Filter Forge after it.
4. It should work now, but Firefox is totally nuked of it's bookmarks and settings.
