You're running out of space in what's called the "User" segment.  This is a
64k area of memory shared by all the running applications in which
information about windows is stored.  There's no way to expand this.

You got *650* windows!!!!  Dare one ask "why"?

This is your problem.  You've *got* to get rid of these windows!  10 or 20
windows, fine.  650 - no way!
