memory that you have left after programs are running, or memory that your system can handle? there is also virtual memory, and your hard drive is used if you run out of RAM 9random access memory).

sounds like the ram memory, when you are running a lot of things such as a lot of windows open you can run out of this memory.Usually closing windows that are not needed will keep that from happening other than buying more ram if your computer can take it.

no virutual memory messesages either my neighbor helped me check all the memory things out and they are ok she thinks maybe it was a fluke message a time or two.........until it happens again then maybe I'll get a better read on it..........Thanks for all your HELP(S)!!!!
