Hello,
I'm running windows xp home.
I have 2gb of ram.
In my computer the pie is just about full.
Very little if any memory left.
I installed the 2gb from crucial, only had 512gb before.
I only have 2 slots for memory and crucial said I'm at max.
Is there any way of adding more memory?
Thanks,
John

In my computer the pie is just about full.

I will take a stab at this. Are you referring to the hard drive? That is the only "pie" I can think of.

Lets see if we can get some system information.

Download and install PC Wizard 2010

Run the program and it will analyze your computer and then display the results.
In the upper left hand corner click on the floppy icon.
You will get a save as screen.
Change the range bullet "only this selection" to be "selected category".
Make sure that text is selected for format.
Click on ok and you will be given a spot to save it to.

Attach it to your response.

I will do what you recommended after my wife gets off her pc.
She's working on it at the moment.

A little pop up at the bottom right of her pc said, disc nearly full.
Don't know what that means.

This memory thing all started after I got and installed a HP officejet 6500.

I checked the Add/Remove in control panel and it has about 7 or 8 entries. Hp customer service / Hp customer participation, etc. etc.
I'm also trying to find out what I can delete to add memory.

[123Runner]

I think there is a communication issue here.
Disk full is most likely referencing the hard drive.
Memory/ram is something else.

[rshaffer61]

Hi guys can I add something here that might help?
Go to Start then to Run
Type in compmgmt.msc and click Enter
On left side click on Disk Management
On right side you will see you hard drive.
Now I need you to take a screenshot and attach it to your next reply. Do the following to take a screenshot while the above is open and showing on your desktop.

To do a screenshot please have click on your Print Screen on your keyboard. It is normally the key above your number pad between the F12 key and the Scroll Lock key
Now go to Start and then to All Programs
Scroll to Accessories and then click on Paint
In the Empty White Area click and hold the CTRL key and then click the V
Go to the File option at the top and click on Save as
Save as file type JPEG and save it to your Desktop


Attach it to your next reply

Please get the info that Rshaffer61 has asked for.

You only have a 20gb hard drive. The system drive is only 10gb with 315mb left.
Not sure what the drive D is.

Drive C: (Hard Disk) : 315 MB available on 10 GB
> Drive D: (Hard Disk) : 8 GB available on 9 GB

Lets clean up temp files and cache. That will help some, but we need to take a serious look at hard drive space and what is installed.
Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
If you use Firefox browser[list]Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browser[list]Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.
NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

Then lets defrag. This may not work because there may not be enough free space.
Download Auslogics Defrag from the link in my signature below. Auslogics Defrag in my opinion is better because:

It does a more comprehensive job at Defragging
It will actually show you what it is doing
At the end of working it will show you how much speed you picked up
You can view a online log of the files that Auslogics defragged

http://auslogics.com...defrag/download

[john god]

Here is the info rshaffer61 asked for.
I think I copied it right.

Sorry ,I tried to copy it from my desktop but it didn't work.
I have the computer management on my desktop.
I copied it, but when I go to paste it,it doesn't paste.
Would my Print Screen have anything to do with it?
Any other way to paste it, so you guys can take a look?


I ran ATF Cleaner and Auslogics Defrag.
It opened up some space on my C Drive.
Defrag detected 4 junk files and 1 registry error.
But it didn't show me how to fix these items.


I tried to copy again today without any luck.
The hard drive within' disk management will not highlight to copy.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for all your help.
Have to go for now,will talk to you latter.
When I come back, we can do anything else that needs to be done
Let me now if there is any other way,to do what Rshaffer61 wanted.
Have a good weekend and Happy Easter.
I really appreciate everything.
John

[rshaffer61]

Redo the steps i gave. No where does it say to copy the information but to take a screenshot and the attach that screenshot to your reply.
Open compmgmt.msc again. Left side click on disk management.
Right side make sure window is open so we can see all details and then follow instructions to take a screenshot.

[john god]

Hello rshaffer61,

Sorry I had to leave for awhile, but I was down South Jersey at my daughters looking for a job.
I will try and do the screenshot again, please bear with me.

Please let me know if I attached it right.
Thanks

OK if i am seeing this right your C drive is 9.83 gigs total and it looks to only have 800 megs or so free.
This being the case then the problem seems to be hard drive space which would mean no matter how much memory you put in the system will not function correctly.
XP needs about 15% of the drive free to function correctly.
My advise is look at replacing the hd first to give yourself some breathing room.

[john god]

Thanks for all your help and input.

If you don't mind, where wood I get a reasonable hard drive and what wood you recommend I get? Total gigs..

[rshaffer61]

NewEgg 80 gig drives

TigerDirect 80 gig drives

These would be 4 times the capacity of what you currently have.

[john god]

Thanks.
Is there a certain model I need for the Dell?
Is it 3.5" IDE Maxtor?
