Answer 2

The message popping up is most likely telling you that your virtual memory is low. And that could be because their are too many processes running at one time. You have plenty of space on your hard drive. So its not that. What year is it?

Answer 3

to see how much space is on your harddrive:

Click on start

"        my computer

right click on your drive, usually is the C:/ Drive and klick options.

Now you´ll see how much space is left and how much you used

and to clean everything up use this tool

and defrag your pc sometimes to make it work prperly

Answer 4

From the picture it looks like your hard drive is full and you do not have room for your hard drive to act as temp memory.

I would suggest you get another hard drive installed and transfer your personal files and folder to it .

If you can download " Crapcleaner " and use it to clean all your temp files and cookies etc off your hard drive

Answer 5

Hello according to the image,you have only used about 10% of the hard drive. Not much at all. In fact it seems even to small for the space the Operating System needs. Perhaps the message is referring to RAM memory. Is this an XP system?

If XP ...click Start. Right click -My Computer.

Select properties..

Select the General tab at top

What does it say under System and Computer?

What are the sounds? Loud clicking

Answer 6

Try getting another hard drive to put all your stuff or an external hard drive. Also all computers make noise when starting up, their is nothing wrong with it.

Answer 7

I can tell you the exact reason for this.

The hardrive you are using is only 15 Gigabytes big, That is considerably small for hardrives these days and is probably very old, you probably couldnt even buy one.

When Hardrive only has little space left e.g. 15 Gig of space. Windows will let you know that you are low on disk space.

My Recommendation to you is buy a hardrive. At a minimum of 150 Gigabytes big.

The noises you are hearing are probably from the hardrive, because its so old. It could be about to corrupt. Get a new Hardrive and make sure you backup your data.

Install Commodo (Firewall) This will prevent people access you computer

Install AVG Anti Virus.

Do regular Defrags.

To look up your computer details:

Go to:

Start > Control Panel > System

This will tell you the basic details of your system, including the size of your Ram.
