This is because Windows releases all resources and memory handles back to the pool when it quits. If you only shut down the programs you use to release resources back to the pool, it may not if the software has memory leaks, that is, it does not release handles for GDI, and USER memory etc. Every time you restart that same program it will allocate more resources, not reuse the ones it didn't release before. Eventually you run out of memory (resources). There is software you can get to clean-up after these "leaky" programs to release memory back to the pool. I've never had this problem and I run 30+ windows open at one time on 3 monitors plus 10 icons on the tray bar. I develop software using Microsoft C++ and VB while doing daytrading with real-time feed from Stockwatch. The system is always maxed out.
