Computer Stress
Computer Stress
My computer keeps coming up with a message that there's not much memory left. What can I do to sort this out - will deleting files in my documents folder help or are they probably too small to have much impact?
Do I need to de-fragment?

You have too many things running in memory. There are a couple of things you can do.
a) Increase your virtual memory size, which is just a way of putting off the problem.
b) Buy more physical memory... which is always good, with or without the message
c) Eliminate all the stupid programs which think they need to be resident in memory... everything from Logitech cameras to Adobe PDF.

First just click on "my computer" and see how much free disk place you have. If you still have a more than 1 gb, most probably you have clicked on to the latest virus emails circulating around last week.
You need a good antivirus program to delete the virus in safe mode. If you have anti virus program, and it cannot work, most probably this virus has disable your anti virus program and you need to get help.
Hope you find this useful.

The OP might try downloading a product called Soluto from www.soluto.com
Gives you an interesting picture of all the crap that tries to start up and let's you stop or postpone the load.

this sounds promising; i was about to suggest start->run then typing "msconfig" but i guess that would have been too technical.
