Dear system,

I would suggest to earse any programs that are taking to much memory Or you could try to re-format it by clicking start, settings, control panel, and device manager Then in the Device Manager (System Properties) clear the Virtual Memory by setting the minimum SwapFile size to 0 and the Maximum to the maximum free space of the hard drive Create a shortcut to the Memory Utilization utility (MUU) that comes with QikFix, and place it in the Startup folder Your other option is to get more memory, just make sure it is compatible.
