Out Of Memory!?!?

[g3cK0]

Why is it then when i'm downloading, it suddenly tells me that i have run out of disk space (showing up that disk cleanup dialog)....I go check my harkd disk space thru my computer => c drive => properties and it says i still have 14 gigs free!!!

what?!! the problem is that when that happens, the status of my file being downloaded is changed to "Failed", which means i have to start over again (but I make backups so that's ok) but each time i resume....it continues for a bit then the same thing happens?!

I have PLENTY of disk space left...what's wrong?

Thanks

You need to run a DISK CLEANUP and SCANDISK

The amount of free space reported by windows becomes ever-more-inaccurate (usually much higher than the ACTUAL amount) the longer you run Kazaa Lite++

are you sure?!!?!? i RAN diskcleanup already but not scandisk...anyway. my HDD says i still have 14GB!

Defragging couldn't hurt, either.

Ok, I have 14GB free, defragmenting is not gonna help…now I can’t even save my word docs! When I save it says my disk is full, how do I fix this prob?

Out of memory means your internal memory (RAM), not your external memory (harddisk).

Try sotring out what you dont need running in the background
As Paul said its RAM
The error I am getting is "running low on disk space"
Thats because I have none.

you may have set your hard disk up wrong

I'm still trying to figure out why you listed "Out Of Memory", yet speak of out of disk space

Are you using XP, multiple partitions? Id so perhaps checking your Restore Point Storage use. XP reserves somewhere between 2 - 2.5GB on each for restore points.

Other than that if it relates directy to memory, perhaps you have a memory leak. Try a memory leak retriever, NitroRam comes to mind, not bad program.

His error message box is definately referring to hard disk space.

Try doing a virus scan. You could have a 'stealth virus' that will fool windows into incorrect disk space.
