I broke down and bought a Windows 7 laptop. I have some software that just won’t run on the Windows 2000 computer so I felt like it was necessary. We purchased a Toshiba satellite, a more or less middle of the line laptop with 4gigs of ram. Twice now the laptop would not let us log in because it was “Low on Resources” and would not allow a login for a “new” user. The first time I logged into my account which was still running. Just now, no one was logged in and only background programs were running. What the heck? I had to restart the laptop. I’m just curious what Windows 7 does, with the laptop cover closed that uses up all of the resources.
