So I was trying to download the Cox High Speed Internet security suite and when I try to run it, a little box pops up telling me that it won't work because I'm low on physical memory. I'm not that good with computers and all so I have no clue what's going on. I know that my computer has a lot of disk space and.. yeah. Can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

You're running out of RAM probably. How much RAM do you have?
Go to My Computer, right click and hit properties. It says System, Registered to (don't copy and paste this here!) and Computer. Please post what it says under computer. |

You might also try going to control panel>performance and maintenance>free up space on your hard disk and then run disk cleanup. This may take a while...be patient! When the analysis is done, check the boxes and click OK. This takes a while, too. You might just clean up enough space to run the program.

Most computers come with 512 standard. 512 is looked at as sorta the Minimum for good computer usage. But it's starting to switch over to 1 gig. |

You might want to enable a page file, or you could buy more RAM. To use a page file, right click on my computer, and hit properties. Select the Advanced tab at the top. Under Performance, hit settings. Go to the Advanced tab at the top. Under Virtual Memory, hit change. If you're unsure, use System Managed Size, then hit set, and then hit ok. |
