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?

128 MB of RAM.

i'm guessing that's pretty low? :|

Yeah, 128 is very low. I believe that's the bare minimum for XP. 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.
