| Sorry for the delay in returning these instructions, looks like you may have another solution but I thought i'd post them anyway!
Hard disk space - this is the amount of unused space on your computer you can check this by opening "my computer" and right clicking your "C" drive. this will show you a pie chart describing free and used space on your drive.
You need to have enough space on this disk to store your documents (generally not a problem these days, but it depends on how many photos etc you are storing. I don't like to let the free space get much below one Gigabyte (GB).
Virtual Memory
To check this right click "My computer" and select "properties".
On the first screen that comes up, check the amount of RAM you have, it should be somewhere near the bottom under "Computer:"
Next go to the "Advanced" tab and click the "settings" button within the "Performance" section.
Click the "advanced" tab and look at the "total paging file size for all drives" value, it should be between 1.5 and 2 times the RAM value you checked earlier.
If it is less than this you should increase this value.
to do this, click change and then either set it to system managed size or custom size
if you choose custom, make the initial size 1.5 times your ram and the maximum 2X your ram.
Also make sure you have enough additional file space on your drive to accommodate the new size.
Hope this makes sense.
p.s. these instructions are for windowsxp & 2000 systems, don't change these values unless you are experiencing memory or virtual memory problems. |
