Media Manager status code 18

Message: cannot allocate requested memory

Explanation: The allocation of system memory failed. This error occurs when insufficient system memory is available. The system may have too little physical and virtual memory to handle the current load of processes.

Recommended Action: Free up memory by terminating any unneeded processes that consume a lot of memory. Add more swap space or physical memory.
