I am running Microsofts "Windows Info Application" version 1.00.21 on my system. I believe it came out of the SDK.  It shows the following information when running my system under normal operation:

Total: 14510k  GDI:53k USERE:37k

Descriptors: 1024,  Free:393

My question is this,  Why do I have so few Descriptors?  Can I increase this number? Shouldn't I have about 8K descriptors?

At the time this information was recorded, I was running WinSaver, Screen Peace, Packrat 3.0, Winqvtnet.   It doesn't appear to make a difference what programs are loaded.  I also tried with and without QEMM and it makes no difference.  My system is a Dell 425E 25 Mhz 486 with 8 Mb RAM.

Any suggestions?
