imabooger Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I reformatted my nieces pc. she has xp and 1 gig of memory. she is always getting a " insufficient memory error". she was getting it before I reformatted. Her pc was a total mess and needed it. she also has a printer she uses to print large photos. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. But if anyone can help me with this I'll be forever grateful Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 did you format the computer before reloading it?I would check the process tab in the task manager. If you click on memory usage, it will resort the process by memory used. It should show you what process it using all the memory. It sounds like a defective program.
