8.03 on Windows 7 general unstableness

I'm definitely going to try this if I still have issues. I wonder if anyone else in the group has tried this fix?

I've been tasked with troubleshooting the issue with someone in our QA department, and he seems to be having semi-consistent problems in Job Entry. I watched him enter 3 jobs this morning, and the 3rd job crashed after he completed entering all the data. Everything seemed to save, but it's frustrating for him when he's in a rhythm of data entry and then Epicor pukes. Anyone else have problems in this screen?

To explain it simply, if you viewed all the processes or handles that your OS can address as a big grid with empty boxes in it. Each "process" in Vantage (buttons, radio buttons, form fields, etc) or any application uses a space or box in that grid, when the boxes fill up, rather than look at clearing out unused boxes, Windows just wipes the slate clean and starts over. Not the best practice, but the limit set by default is in theory unreachable, but not in the case of Vantage. This came directly from an Epicor and Microsoft conversation.

Has anyone else had issues with heavy Epicor 8.03.409 users running on Windows 7? A couple of my users have fairly regular crashes of the client, and one user has his Epicor screens just vanish without an error screen.

We've pushed them to the latest Crystal Reports redistributables, but that hasn't helped all that much.

Any suggestions?
We have not had any users crash on a regular basis, other than the normal crashes.
But we did find a solution to the Epicor screens just vaporizing with no error or any indication of a problem.
The solution came from Epicor and some of their engineers who were having the same issue when they went to E9.
Here are the reg fixes we put into place and use as SOP for all our users and it fixes that issue where the client just closes out of all open windows with no error shown
these are for XP but I think I looked and found they run with 7 also

Are the slashes on the ends of those lines part of the Key or are they just
a slash to say "continued on next line"?

The first is what I call a process handler fix. It sets the "process" limit in windows to the max allowed by the OS. To explain it simply, if you viewed all the processes or handles that your OS can address as a big grid with empty boxes in it. Each "process" in Vantage (buttons, radio buttons, form fields, etc) or any application uses a space or box in that grid, when the boxes fill up, rather than look at clearing out unused boxes, Windows just wipes the slate clean and starts over. Not the best practice, but the limit set by default is in theory unreachable, but not in the case of Vantage. This came directly from an Epicor and Microsoft conversation.
The second one relates to "desktop heap" settings and setting them to the maximum level allowed also.
That's the best way I can explain it, I'm not a programmer and couldn't script my way out of a paper bag. All I know is when I applied these fixes to some machines that were crashing and getting .Net errors those crashes and errors went away.
I passed these fixes along to some other users at Perspectives and they all had good results with them, or have so far.
