Can I set maximum memoery and processor use?

I do a lot of programming and handle large datasets and it really
****es me off when a program uses up all the memory or processor.

It cripples the computer and makes it useless for minutes on and
sometimes I have to shut it down.

Is there a wat to set a maximum limit on memory and processor use?

And the task manager is pretty dumb. The times I need to use it it
doesnät respond either. Shouldn't it override everything and always be
callable? Isn't that kind of the point?

No - if you need precise control over Memory and CPU usage you will need to
use Windows System Resource Manager - a capability of Windows Server 2008 or
a download for Windows Server 2003.
The client operating systems such as Vista do not have such a feature - you
can however alter a processes priority and affinity (which CPU cores it runs
on) from within Task Manager - This may be sufficient for your needs (if you
have a multi core system).
