Desktop Heap Monitor Description

Windows uses a special memory heap for all Windows-based programs running on the desktop. The desktop heap is used for all objects (windows, menus, pens, icons, etc.). When a large number of Windows-based programs are running, this heap may run out of memory. When there is not enough memory to satisfy an allocation request, the system normally returns an error and notifies the user that they are running low on memory. Some programs do not handle the failure gracefully, and in some cases there may not be enough memory to create the error message dialog box. As a result, the requested operation fails without any indication. The Desktop Heap Monitor is a tool to examine current usage of the desktop heap on the system. This tool is useful to monitor or estimate desktop heap usage and avoid potential problem due to lack of the desktop heap. Get Desktop Heap Monitor and try it for yourself to see what it's all about!
