Problem

I am suddenly getting the error message "A new guard page for the stack cannot be created" when performing tasks such as Schema Upgrade Utility or sometimes opening files. What does this error mean?

Solution

This error message indicates more memory is being used than expected, though the source is usually not the application itself. It can occur for a wide variety of software, from games to CAD applications to web browsers, or even just booting up a computer. As such it is typically more of a system-level issue, so the troubleshooting steps in the following links may help:
