Despite having 1GB of RAM with 70% free resources I get an error message
stating I have insufficient free memory whenever I try to use Disk
Defragmenter. I have tried closing down all applications and have also tried
running in Safe Mode to defrag. but the same error message appears. The HDD I
am using is a 160GB SATA. Any suggestions?

How was the disk set up? Does if have a "drive overlay" installed?

Is that one 160GB partition? If so, you need to divide the disk up into smaller
volumes. I would suggest 128GB at the very largest, but prefer closer to 64GB.

I would also suggest you look into installing intel's "Application Accelerator" if your
chipset is supported. Read through the documents carefully. If you have a DDO
installed, it may not be compatible and/or there will be other issues you will need
to deal with.
