    I was thinking that, but it had no hints that it was. Having just browsed through some message boards, the lack of seeing something is very possible indeed.

      Can anyone recommend an application that would make an application think the system is low on resources? Looking for GDI resources as well as RAM. Or even an API that I could investigate to roll my own tool?

      Just write your own:

      while(resourcesLeft){
          AllocateResources();
      }

        Try running the app inside Virtual PC or VMWare - these allow you to limit the resources that are available.

          Or virtualbox and also disable any SVM or VT (processor virtualization support) instructions that these have.
