This could be one of several things, such as trying to use a cluster size that is incompatible with a large hard drive, where you end up with an unmanageable number of clusters. Or it could be a vcache issue, or........ But it all depends on what, when, where, why, how. Et cetera..... |

"not enough memory" messages have nothing to do with drive space. they refer
to RAM, If you are trying to reload windows to cure some viral/spyware/system crash it is possible that the dirty little bugger is still present and is wasting memory. If you are trying to re-install windows from within windows, enuff said cant do it. -- Adaware http://www.lavasoft.de spybot http://security.kolla.de AVG free antivirus http://www.grisoft.com Etrust/vet/CA 12 Month free trial (till Feb 2005) http://www.my-etrust.com/microsoft/ Etrust/Vet/CA.online Antivirus scan http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/scan.aspx Panda online AntiVirus scan http://www.pandasoftware.com/ActiveScan/ Catalog of removal tools (1) http://www.pandasoftware.com/download/utilities/ Catalog of removal tools (2) http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/n...aspx?CID=40387 Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts file http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm links provided as a courtesy, read all instructions on the pages before use Grateful thanks to the authors/webmasters _ "rom553" wrote in message ...

Use control-alt-delete to check what's running. If the virus is in memory
KILL the process. ~Q |

Uh? If it really is a not enough memory message, then the most likely cause
is insufficient drive space for the swap file. Windows does not usually report out of memory just because there isn't enough RAM. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "AlmostBob" wrote in message ...

Most messages about not enough memory aren't actually about not enough
memory at all. What is the exact (verbatim) message that you are getting, and exactly what are you doing when it appears. Why did you re-install Windows, and are you sure you have fixed whatever problem made it necessary? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "rom553" wrote in message ...
