How much physical ram do you have and how much free hard drive space? What version of Windows?

288MB of RAM for Windows XP is insufficient, upgrade to at least 512. You will also want to free up some space on your harddrive or upgrade to a hardrive with a larger capacity.

With that little free space, the hard drive is probably so fragmented the swapfile can't resize itself and you can't defrag it either.

I am having the same message. I was searching for an answer. I am running xp home. I have 736 mb of ram, a 76.3 gb hd with 49.9 gb free. So why do you think I am getting the message.

736 ram?
1. Download and install Crap Cleaner and clean out all your junk with it and clean the registry with it. 2. Set it to NO pagefile, reboot. 3. Defrag. 4. Set the pagefile to 2208 initial and maximum. |

OK I went to "download.com" and found CCleaner. Is that the one you mention? Anyway I deleted all the cookies and stuff. Then I clicked on the "issues" button and over 500 of them came up. There is a button to "fix selected issues". I really don't know if I should do that or not. I feel like I am in over my head please advice.

Fix them. It will let you back up the changes. Keep running till there are no more issues, it will probably take 3 or 4 passes. Do each pass at least 1 minute apart.

GLC, I defragged my hard drive with diskeeper lite and free up some hardware space to 1.33 GB of free space but I am still having the same issue. What else can I do please?

Follow the procedure in my post #8, but use 864 initial and max. 1.33 gb is still not much space to play with. How large is the partition? Do you have any other partitions, and how big are they with how much free space?

That's too small a hard drive to be running XP on. I'd upgrade the drive, and get more ram too.
