30086 2002-01-06 23:35:00 I dont know the technical answer to the problem but I use winramturbo its a small prog that frees up and defrags your ram helping your puter maintain enough ram to operate without lockup. Its available on the pcworld cd or they also have it in their downloads. Guest (0)
30087 2002-01-07 00:26:00 can you explain what 'ihave just found that the memory in the hard drive is used up' means??
the only way to use up 'memory in the hardrive' aka virtual memory(i'm assumeing this is what you mean) is if you have run out of space on the harddrive or you have set a max amount for the virtual memeory.

try not to use 'ram defragers' etc unless you have to. rnning another prog in the background may make thinks worse(if you are running low on resources).
