if you want disk space, you need a larger hard drive... memory is not space.

first run disc cleanup< rightclick localdisk>,then prss disc clean,next go to run>%temp% and press ok this will take you to your temporary folder,which can hold up to 3to 4 gb of temp data,just go to edit>select all then delete selected items,otherwise look on ebay for 20gb drives which pop up for round about £10 now and again\n         you should be better getting a second drive than worrying about space all the time,i wish i lived near by as i have 3 or 4 spare 20gb hard drives,you could have had one\n    good luck

You can purchase a reliable and fully-featured hard disk drive manager for example Disk Director by Acronis. You'll be able to add some space to the C: partition easily using Disk Director.

what is it?   When all the RAM is being used (for example if there are many programs open at the same time) the computer will swap data to the hard drive and back to give the impression that there is slightly more memory.\n\nThe best thing to do is to buy more memory, not the most cost effective, but the best.\n\nIf you are running XP, you can also goto start->run-> "msconfig".  Click on the startup tab and there should be a bunch of junk such as OEM software, just look and play around.  make sure you don't turn off spyware, virus, or firewalls.

By making more partitions  it may slow down the system. I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems. Some RAM/hard drive problems can be easily fixed yourself by using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in  useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required.

You go to Start Menu.\nControl Panel.\nSystem.\nAnd then click on the Advanced Tab.\nUnder Performance there is a settings tab.\n\nYou can increase your virtual memory there, but I wouldnt touch it because it usually allocates it the best way possible so that your computer and your graphics card gets the most from your memory.\n\nIt usually means you might need to upgrade your memory. Go to control panel again, then system, and then check your computer information and see how much memory you have. If you only have 128MB RAM, which is the standard that new computers come in, then you might need to add more RAM.\n\nThe more the RAM, the better performance of your computer. If you only have 128MB RAM then that basically means that you cant have much more than maybe 3 or 4 programs opened at the same time.\n\nIf you need more help or if you want instructions on how to install more memory, then contact me in my profile.

bASICALLY YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MEMORY TO RUN YOUR COMP, YOU NEED TO EITHER INSTALL SOME RAM THROUGH A SECOND HARD DRIVE, OR A USB KEY \n\nI'D START OFF FIRST BY GETTING RID OF ALL THE FILES, PROGRAMS ETC YOU DON'T USE, \n\nPUT FILES YOU NEED MONTHLY ONTO A CDRW DISK, THAT WILL CLEAR UP SOME SPACE. \n\nDO A SCANDISK AND DEFRAG, \n\nRUN THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS IF YOU DONT HAVE THEM ALREADY SPYBOT S&D, AD-AWARE AND FREE RAM XP PRO.\n\nCHECK THROUGH YOUR MUSIC PHOTO PERSONAL DOCUMENTS AND EITHER PUT EM ON DISK OR DELETE THEM.\n\nIF AFTER DOING ALL THAT IT STILL HAPPENS YOU'RE HAVE TO UPGRADE TO GET MORE MEMORY

Usually no, these files are small.  Do a search for large files on the disk to find out what is taking up the space.

The cheapest and most effective way is to add more memory. Whatever you've got in there now, double it.\n\nAlso, consider removing Norton (which is a crock) and replacing it with AVGFree from Grisoft (www.grisoft.com). It's much, much faster.

I would assume you got that on ebay from hong kong...they compress the drive to make it hold more and when you format it you take it back to its orriginal/correct size....you got screwed! I have not figuered out how to make it take 2 gigs again....I run a computer shop and I just had a customer with the same problem.\n\n-Doc-

Get more memory.  The owners manual will tell you how to upgrade it and what type of memory to get.  Defrag your harddrive.  This will cost you less than 100 dollars.

ok you can increase your virtual memory no problem. you have to go to system properties (right click on my computer, then properties). then go to the advanced tab, then under performance click on settings, then click on the advanced tab, then click on the change box under virtual memory. custom size should be checked and change the first number to match the second one and press set and ok. then your paging file size should be at its maximum. thats all.
