Error number 1450 message occurs when accessing the system registry

Issue

---

When browsing a template that uses client variables, an "Error number 1450" error message occurs. This article applies to all versions of ColdFusion Server.

When browsing a template that uses client variables, the following error message occurs:

Error Diagnostic Information
Error attempting to get the client (Client ID = 'xxxxx').

A problem was encountered trying to access the system registry. Error number 1450 occurred.

The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFAPPLICATION), occupying document position (x:x) to (xx:xx).

As a default, the ColdFusion server uses the Windows registry as the client variable storage method. If the client variables are not purged frequently enough or if there is a large amount of data being stored, the registry may reach its maximum size capacity, causing the error message above.

Solution

---

Purge the client variables as detailed in the steps in the article, Deleting client variables stored in the registry (Article 17881). Once you have completed the steps in Article 17881, review the article, ColdFusion 4.5.1 SP2 and Up: Recommended settings for client variable storage (Article 17919), for recommended client variable storage methods.
