First, the clipboard takes up too much memory. In fact, the clipboard is a temporary area in memory, when you use the "copy" or "cut" command in the program. After that, Windows will temporarily store the copied or cut content and its format on the clipboard for "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 the following steps: 1. Click "Start", point to "Programs" or "All Programs", point to "Accessories", point to "System Tools" , and then click "Clipboard Viewer" to 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 the Micros OftOffice program and are using its multi-clipboard feature, you should empty the items on the "Office Clipboard" by: "Office Clipboard" task pane (OfficeXP) or toolbar (Office2000) ), click "Clear All" or "Empty 'Clipboard'". When the "Office Clipboard" is cleared, the system clipboard will also be emptied at the same time. 2. Too many open programs. If there are too many documents open at the same time or too many programs are running, there is not enough memory to run other programs. At this time, for multi-document interface (MDl) programs, such as Word, Excel, etc., please close all documents outside the current document, and exit the currently unused programs, and then you may be able to continue to be interrupted due to "out of memory" Task. Third, restart the computer If you only exit the program, do not restart the computer, the program may not be able to return the memory resources to the system. Please restart your computer to free up system resources and then run the program again or perform the interrupted task. 4. Too many programs that run automatically If there are too many programs that run automatically when you start Windows, there is not enough memory to run other programs even if you restart your computer. (1) Determine if there are too many programs set to run automatically 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. In the Open box, type "Msconfig" and click the "OK" button to open the "System Configuration Utility" window. 3. Click the "General" tab, select the "Selective Startup" checkbox, clear the "Process Win.ini File" checkbox and the "Load Startup Group Item" checkbox. 4. Click the "OK" button and when prompted to restart your computer, click the "Yes" button. After restarting the computer, if the problem of insufficient memory has been resolved, you can configure the computer to start without opening any programs. (2) Configuring the computer does not automatically open any program
1. Restore the changes made in Msconfig by: In the "System Configuration Utility" window, click the "General" tab, select "Normal Start", single Click the "OK" button and restart your computer. 2. Delete all shortcuts in the "Startup" folder 1 Click "Start", point to "Settings", and then click "Taskbar and Start Menu", the "Taskbar Properties" dialog box will pop up. 2 Click the Start Menu Programs tab and click the Delete button. 3Click the plus sign next to the Startup folder to display a list of programs that are set to run automatically. If there is no plus sign "+" next to the "Startup" folder, it means that there is no program set to run automatically, click the "Close" button to terminate the process. 4Click each shortcut in the Startup folder and click the Remove button. This action removes the shortcut from the Start menu but does not remove the program from the hard drive. Repeat this step for each shortcut in the Startup folder. 5 Click the "Close" button. 6 Click the "OK" button. 3. Disable all programs loaded from the Win.ini file 1 Open the System Configuration Utility window as described above. 2Click the "Win.ini" tab, double-click "[Windows]", and then clear the "Load=" and "Run=" check boxes. 3 Click the "OK" button, when prompted to restart the computer, click the "Yes" button. V. Let Windows manage virtual memory settings If you do not set Windows to manage virtual memory or disable virtual memory, your computer may not work properly, you may receive an "out of memory" message, or you may get the same error message when you run a program. . 1. Click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click System. 2. In the System Properties dialog, click the Performance tab and then click the Virtual Memory button. 3. Select the "Let Windows Manage Virtual Memory Settings - (Recommended)" option to set the amount of hard disk space available on the computer as virtual memory to the default value. At this time, the virtual memory paging "win386.swp" can be dynamically reduced and enlarged according to the actual memory usage, the minimum capacity is 0, and the maximum capacity is the available space of the hard disk. 4. Click the "OK" button. 6. Increase the available disk space Because Windows uses hard disk space to emulate RAM() in the format of virtual memory paging file, so although it is set to let Windows manage virtual memory, when the virtual memory paging file is located (the default is Windows system). If there is not enough space in the hard disk partition where it is located, there will still be an "out of memory" error. In this case, perform one or more of the following operations to increase the free space on the drive where the Windows virtual memory paging file is located: 1. Empty the recycle bin by right-clicking the Recycle Bin on the desktop, and then clicking "Empty Recycle Bin". 2. Delete the temporary file from the disk by opening the "Windows Explorer" or "My Computer" window, right-clicking the disk whose space you want to free, and then clicking "Properties" on the "General" tab On the top, click the "Disk Cleanup" button, select the check box in front of the unwanted files to be deleted (Figure 3), you can read the description of each file type in the area below the list, click the "OK" button. 3. Remove expired or archived files from the disk. 4. Delete all files that have never been used. Seven, the program file is destroyed If you only use a program, the system prompts that the memory is insufficient, and other programs can run normally, then the possible reason is that the program file is destroyed, resulting in memory problems. However, Windows does not exactly indicate that the program is corrupt, so try to remove and reinstall the program, then re-run the program. If the system no longer prompts for insufficient memory, the original program file is indeed corrupted. Eight, using memory optimization software
There are many memory optimization software, such as RAM Idle and Memo Kit are two excellent. These software can be set to automatically clear the clipboard, release the memory that has not been released by the closed program, reorganize the Win386.swp file, etc., thus eliminating the trouble of manual operation, to achieve the purpose of automatically releasing the memory, may wish to try! Killing viruses
System infection with computer viruses is also the culprit of memory shortage. When the system has an "out of memory" error, please use the latest anti-virus software to kill the virus, or after clearing the computer virus, it will be solved. The problem of insufficient memory.
