Win Me, 512ddr ram, AMD 200xp, ie6, oe 6.

It seems my computer is not allocating its Ram correctly. After I have open
and subsequently closed several screens or programs, I get an error message
saying there is not enough memory to run this program. I have Freeram
running which indicates the current ram usage and true enough it drops with
every open programme and does not come back up. Even using Freeram to free
the ram does not give me much extra if any. Usually when it drops to below
80 ish i lose the bottom grey windows bar and have to reboot.
I remember i was once advised to change the wording of a text file in the
windows folder which somehow related to ram and i wonder if this was the
problem although its been fine for the last year.
Any fixes?

Regards
Lee Davison

Your OS is total crap.

Install and run Cacheman. Run the Wizard and it will set up your memory
and cache, etc. http://www.outertech.com/

I'd also like to add that once the OP is finished setting it up through the
wizard, to click on Options on the right side and uncheck "Load Cacheman on
Windows startup"

All settings are saved to the registry and running Cacheman in the
background will just needlessly use resources.

Oh yeah.. and try to avoid using memory-resident programs like FreeRAM.

Thanks for catching that, Senti. I do that myself and forgot to mention
it to the OP.

remove all your "free memory" style programs---yes windows is a memory hog
but only when you let it.

clean up your start up progs to the minimum including the task bar--a short
cut on the desktop is more efficient--all you really need running at boot is
(obviously) windows os and your av/firewall if you feel so inclined

to further improve performance(link nicked from group somewhere)
