Virtual Server 2005 Error

Hi everyone
The system
Windows 2003 x64 with Virtual server 2005 R2 1.1.629.0 EE R2 SP1
2 CPU Xeon QuadCore
16 GB RAM

The error is:
" SERVERNAMEcould not be started because there is not enough physical memory
or system resources available"

Weird??!!!

Machines that are running consume a max of 10GB of memory, plenty disk space
available.

I should have 6GB to use, why I'm getting this error?

I fire up Taskmanager and it shows physical Memory available = 5,3 GB. Why
the Virtual machine doesn't start up?

Ok the machine starts up, but only with 512MBs of RAM??? I need 2 more
machines with 1024Mb of ram each!

Thank you.

Thank you everyone for the answers.

-No I don't have /3GB switch because this is a x64 bit system and that
doesn't apply.
-I checked under Taskmanager and I saw the Memory available = 5,3 GB. I
think that if I had additional resources consuming my memory I would notice
in taskmanager, or maybe wrong?

Funny thing, in my storage disks I had more than 600GB available for each
disk, and when I tried to copy a VM model to those disks I got unsificient
disk space??!!!!

WTF... Is this??? After a few tests and debuging I found out that my McAfee
8.5 was the cause of all of my problems. After uninstall Mcafee all problems
went away.
Now I've to check for patches in Antivirus that don't cause this errors.

Anyway thankyou all for your opinions and time.

Best regards.

AH, check the amount of free disk space on your system drive. This could
well be related.

Also check that there aren't disk quotas enabled, though I'd be surprised on
a machine doing virtualization.

Hi Charlie

No, no quotas enabled.
As I told you before all problems were solved when I uninstalled the McAfee.

Regards.
