    Ok
    My friend just bought a Sony Vaio CR190 laptop
    with newly installed Vista Utimate 64 bit.

    It happens on day one when she try to move some files from drive to drive, a error message pops out said " Not enough memory for operation"

    It happens randomly with different size file and most of time file is less than 1G. The laptop itself has 2G ram.

    The original package with home premium Vista suffered the same problem
    That's why she turned to utimate version.

    I am wondering if this is another vista problem or something else.

    Thanks and looking for any insight.

    If the problem happened on two different operating systems, then it might be the problem is with the laptop.

    It came to my mind as well
    I was thinking the problem with memory module
    However it would be even more un-stable and crash if that is the case, which didn't happen yet. Despite the problem with transferring, only IE7.0 crashes often. But I don't know if it's due to IE7.0's bloating feature of security

    Any other suggestion ?

    I believe the problem is having too many files in that folder.

    I know this happens a LOT with USB drives when you don't create folders for all of your files, but instead put all the files in the root directory...

    try breaking things up and see if that fixes it.

    Thanks a lot
    I never met the same problem with XP while dragging a whole folder of hundreds files. But you are right about the USB drive. We try to drag the whole disk of her user settings over to her laptop.

    Is this because of Vista ?
