    I keep getting a message that says ERROR Ran out of memory, please free up memory and re-run program. I have a few programs running, but I don't really understand because it doesn't seem like enough to cause a memory problem. Does anybody recommend certain programs to disable and/or delete from my notebook to keep this happening to a minimum? Also there is a exe called enmtray.exe and I don't know what it is, but it is taking up a lot of memory. It seems like there's a few Acer programs like the epower management that I should close, but I'm not sure.
    thanks in advance!

    Did you do something with your swap file? ie windows page file. Did you do something to it? And what OS are you using?

    I didn't do ANYTHING with it. But I'm using Vista, so I'm pretty sure that's the main reason it's messing up.

    How much physical memory do you have in your notebook?
