I noticed that while I am I runing some programs one of which is a program that displays some fast changing data graphically in real time, I cannot open Adobe photoshop. I noticed from Task Manager, that while these programs did not start, a process called photshop.exe and Adobe_IPC_Broker processes started'
Today I noticed media player also does not open when I am running this program. Task Manager showed that WMplayer.exe *process* started, but not the *application*. If I reboot, both Photoshop and Media Player worked fine wiothout any issues.
I did the following additional tests:
The second time when I had a problem opening Media Player, I merely closed the above mentioned graphic display program and tried to run Media Player without rebooting the computer. I tried this process twice. Media Player Window did not open once. But second time it ran.. So I cannot reproduce this error consistently 100% of the time.
If I reboot an then open all programs, then immediately open Media Player (even after the graphs drawing program was opened and working), everything, including Media Player work fine.
I have a Windows 7 computer with 12GB memory, Approx 8.5GB was free after opening the graphs program. The CPU is alos quite powerful. Secondly, as soon as I reboot and check free memory, I have 9,109MB free out of 12GB. If I open the graphs program, the free memory dropped to 8,573MB. So I do not know if this is the sole culprit (or is free memory not the only resource level that I should check?). Are there any things I can do to solve this?
Thanks
