Computer "Resources"

[tisser]

What does it mean when I get a window up that states that I am dangerously low in resources" and do I want to close any programmes?

It means that you have nearly used up your computer's physical memory (RAM) and will have to close some programs before you can run more. Or if this is a regular occurrence, buy more memory.

It can also mean that your drive is badly fragmented and that Windows has no space to create it's Workspace (commonly known as a SPLAT file). Try defragging the drive and see if that improves performance. Regards John Perczyk ([email protected])

you may have several programs running in the background, such as a download accelerator or getright. using these programs will eat up your processor time and cause lots of crashes. try to disable or delete these programs, or buy a faster processor
