I am getting the following error when i try to run my program:

Code:
 Operating system error: Cannot allocate memory
 Allocation would exceed memory limit

Any thoughts about that this is and maybe any suggestions about how to resolve the issue??

It looks like your program is trying to take more memory than your computer has, or you've got some sort of mistake in your program. Either way, it's like asking your doctor to examine you from another room while blindfolded.

If you want more help, post your program.
 
apparently there was a mistake in my program ... thank you!
