low memory on my driver

i have low memory on my driver and when i defragment it it still says i still
have same memory. then i try disk clean up and sill says i have the same
memory. then i try and delete some files and still says i am on low memory
how do i get my memory bk i sould have 33.5 GB on 1 driver and 33.5 on the
other one and they r both low ??????????????

jay,

I assume you're referring to the hard drive and not to system RAM. Both of
you're hard drives are small, judging by the needs of today's requirements.
You need to look into upgrading to a larger hard drive. They don't cost much
these days. Check www.newegg.com for all the hard drivers. You likely
should consider at least a minimum of 80 GB, but larger is better.

If your system RAM is insufficient, consider upgrading that as well. You
should have a minimum of 1 GB, but 2 GB is better for Vista. To upgrade the
RAM, you must know the type of RAM that your motherboard supports. Don't
install any other type. Consult the documentation that came with your system
or contact the vendor of your computer for this information.

Free space on a hard drive is quite different than memory........memory is
the amount of RAM you have installed on your system as well as the size of
the pagefile on your HD.
If you would give us the exact error message and what program brings it up
we might be able to determine if you need more RAM or if you only need to
increase the size of your Pagefile.

Did you empty the Recycle Bin?

You are not talking about memory. You are, indeed, referring to drive space.
They are two completely different animals.

If you upgraded from Windows XP you likely are, in fact, low on drive space.
There is an awful lot of files still on your computer that are a hold over
from Windows XP.

A 40 gig drive partition is fine for a fresh install of Vista but may be too
small for an upgrade install. It all depends on what you had previously
installed in Windows XP.
