[pchelpers] Re: Low available memory

 
Well, I would rather not mention the amount of sdram but enough to run  aol9;
I am getting messages that I am low on "resources" and I just adjusted my  
startups with msconfig.  Certainly low memory available with 128 ram (oops)  
running aol9.  But still at times I run 5 tasks at a time and everything is  
fine.  My c drive was completely full yesterday and now it has less than  1/4 
free 
space. But my swap file has loads of extra space and that it was I  thought 
that changing virtual memory would be a good thing to do; or rather, 
 
can I get some of that extra space that is unused for my swap file, to use  
elsewhere as "available memory"(?);
 
did I go off topic. If so, sorry.

What kind of problem are you having?

I really  don't know why Pen would be having a problem with memory
anyway; she has  plenty of physical memory already, and Windows
normally adjusts virtual  memory automatically.

Windows ME is a bit less mature. Most of the  problems with memory with
Windows ME will be with the applications  themselves, but if you have
current versions of all of them, you're  unlikely to have problems; now
that Windows XP is the norm, most of the  poorly-written applications
HAD to fix their problems just to keep their  help desk phone lines
quiet.

How much memory do you have?  I've  forgotten. :(

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
