can't create a window for execution. GDI or User resources too low

2015-03-12 11_06_56-NI TestStand - Sequence Editor [Edit].png

 

I get this error when i try to do a single pass on my sequence.

 

the labview code issued involves Classes and  a lots of Vi's that are included on a Hardware Abstraction Layer

 

 

the sequence executes but i cant see anything on the screen like the pass fail data, or the trace arrow to see which step is executing.

 

have you guys seen this before?

You can check the GDI and USER object usage of your process in the Window's task manager (you can enable columns which will show this for all of the running processes). Is it very high? If so you might have some code which is leaking GDI or USER objects somewhere. Or do you have a lot of windows open in TestStand? If so then you could legitimately be using a lot of GDI or USER resources.

 

Hope this helps,

i found the problem

 

My labview project was loading to many Vi's. i was able to reduce the GDI objects to half.
