The system prompts "insufficient memory" reason and solution

  
First, the clipboard takes up too much memory
In fact, the clipboard is a temporary area in the memory, when you use "copy" in the program Or after the "Cut" command, Windows will temporarily store the copied or cut content and its format on the clipboard for use by <;paste”. If the current clipboard contains a picture, the clipboard takes up a lot of memory. In this case, please clear the contents of the clipboard and release the memory resources occupied by it as follows:
1. Click “Start”, point to “Program” or “All Programs> "Attachments", point to "System Tools", and then click “Clipboard Viewer", open the “Clipboard Viewer” window. 2. On the "Edit" menu, click the “Delete” command. 3. Close the “Clipboard Viewer” window.
In order to distinguish it from the multiple clipboards provided by the Microsoft Office program, the clipboard mentioned above is often referred to as the system clipboard. If you are using a Microsoft Office program and are using its multi-clipboard feature, you should clear the items on the "Office Clipboard" by: "In the Office Clipboard" (Office XP) or On the toolbar (Office2000), click “Clear all & rdquo; or “Clear & lsquo;Clipboard & rsquo;”. When the "Office Clipboard" is cleared, the system clipboard will also be cleared at the same time.
Second, there are too many open programs.
If there are too many documents open at the same time or too many programs are running, there will not be enough. Run other programs in memory. At this time, for multi-document interface (MDl) programs, such as Wd, Excel, etc., please close all documents outside the current document, and exit the currently unused programs, and then you may continue to perform because of "insufficient memory" The task was interrupted.
Third, restart the computer
