Our database was setup 10% auto grow. But few days ago, it stopped growing and whenever I tried to expand the data file size I got:

Error 5149: MODIFY FILE encountered operating system error 1450(Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.) while attempting to expand the physical file.

Help, the DB is critical for us.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have space in your physical drives?

Yes, I have 30G free space. And the database data file is 15G. Log file is only 4MB.

How much were you trying to expand the file?

I tried to expand 1G first, but failed.
Then I tried few MBs, still failed. :(

Is there a quota on the folder or Account the SQL service is running under?
