Subject: Im havin problems with memory.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

It first started when i waas trying to open some hpc screenshots which were in quicktime format. so when i try to open too many a window pops up saying something like:"You do not have enough memory to run this program, close a program to free memory blah blah." But the thing is I got 512RAM of memory or wtvr its called. And ive never had problems multitasking before.Any help I would apreciate.

Are you running anything? When you have a memory problem, let your computer sit for 10 or 15 minutes so anything you saved can be transfered from the RAM to you hard drive. Other than that, I have no idea.

Have you rebooted your machine recently? If not, see if that helps.

Right click on all those stupid programs you never use and Exit (bottom right). Then Ctrl+Del and End Task for all the programs that you aren't using. Do Disk Cleanup and then Disk Defragmenter. Computer should be fine, unless it's Norton (gah I hate that program). When I had that program I couldn't plaly ANY good games because it took up most of my RAM secretly installing updates and secretly being turned on even though it says it's turned off. Which is one reason why I got McAfee.

Seems like your RAM is being clogged with something.

If you've had this problem before, then lay off the porno.

(kidding.)

====================

I would check to see what your specs are, particularly on your GPU. If you have an integrated chipset, and especially if its higher end, it's sharing the RAM with the computer. Most chipsets will take up about 120MB of RAM to itself, meaning that for me, for example, I only 380MB of my physical 512MB avalible. If this is the case, then all you can do is buy more RAM.

Second, do a few virus/adware/spyware scans on your computer. That should eradicate any memory-stealers from your system.

Finally, if to no avail, Ctrl-Alt-Del, go to Processes, and find out what the heck's clogging it up. Pay attention to the right hand column and see what's taking up all the RAM. System standby doesn't count, btw.
