If you are using Virtual Memory and don't need it turn it off. Turning off Virtual Memory greatly reduces the open files count; at least according to Alsoft's Open File count 2.0 Control Strip Module; available free from the Alsoft's web site as mention in an earlier post.
Earlier today at work with VM off, my 7300/200 OS 8.6 had 249 files open with only three or four programs running. The max for OS 8.6 is 348, OS 9 permits 8,169 files to be open. --glen In a message dated 7/23/03 Carolyn Shere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: << I recently started getting error messages of "too many files open". I could not open Appleworks 6 the other day and today I couldn't open Eudora. I only had one other program open at the time and not a lot of documents (either Acrobat or Explorer were open). I am also getting -42 error messages when Acrobat opens and my Mac error utilities (I have two) indicate that this also means there are too many files open. But I get this message with Acrobat even when nothing else is open (except Spell Tools which opens on start-up). I have 384MB of RAM. This is a 9600/233 running OS 8.6. I know that the OS is part of my other problems with Acrobat 5. But don't understand the "too many files" problem. Any thoughts? Thanks.
