The resource stack limitations of Win3.x and Win9x versions of 
Windows are long gone in the NT-based versions of Windows.

However, one can still get "out of memory" errors (masking an actual 
"out of resources" problem) in them from really badly behaved 
programs that fill up the message queue or leave some huge block of 
memory improperly allocated. Generally, killing the offending program 
gets you back to normal. But occasionally one has to restart the GUI 
by logging off and logging back on. I've never had this kind of thing 
require a complete reboot in an NT-based version of Windows.
