no clue i myself run on linux, but:

seems to be that the windowing system ran out of widget handles, do you 
have many open programs/windows? if yes you should first try to close some 
to free resources. Otherwise try rebooting (uhm... the normal windows 
solution ;-), there could be some handles leak...

But i have no clue how can you tell the system to assign more handles...

Cheers, Ariel
