Is it possible that WM2003 allows only four running apps at

---

Hi,

I just got the new MDA2 and although it is a really awsome machine I see something very strange: I can open three apps and have them running in the background but as soon as I start the fourth one the first one gets closed automatically. It doesn't matter if it is ms reader or explorer or media player, they simply get closed Anybody else seen this on their WM2003 device ???

Cheers,

Oliver

This is the answer I got from conduits:
" It is indeed a feature of Windows Mobile 2003 -- the operating system will
shut down applications that are in the background when you are low on
memory. In the next release, we will incorporate a "do not close when
playing in background" option, which will fix that problem."

Is really nobody else seeing this behaviour apart from me ? I must be doing something wrong. With 50MB free memory it should not have to close apps down.

To be truthfully I think its a bug in the PPCPE WM2003 OS and has nothing to do with the available free memory at this point. But I'm pretty sure there'll be a fix/update.



HTH

Just read on PPCW.net that the limitation is not memory but an OS limit to 32 processes, for a new one to start once this has been reached an existing one must be closed. Looks like this one could be very difficult to resolve... :cry:
