How to increase PythonWin v2.0: COM browser limits?

[Eduard Hiti]

In my experience this is a bogus error message. It could be that the problem
lies elsewhere: maybe a registry corruption or a Pythonwin bug.

COM
| Browser to start the COM browser and expand the "Registered Categories"
| branch in the tree view.
|
| Pythonwin shows in the interactive window a backtrace on an exception.
The
| culprit raising this exception was the response:
|
| File "D:\Python20\win32com\client\util.py", line 53, in __GetIndex
|     result = self._oleobj_.Next(1)
| pywintypes.com_error: (-2147024882, 'Not enough storage is available to
| complete this operation.', None, None)
| win32ui: Exception in OnNotify() handler
|
| Something suggests that the number of registered objects is too large for
| the COM browser.  As I've -of course- the sources available, I was wonder
if
| there is some parameter which I can increase to solve the problem.  Or am
I
| running into limitations of the treeview control of MS Windows?
