These two operating systems do not have the Disk Cleanup utility so the cleanup must be performed from within the Web browser. From within Microsoft Internet Explorer, the following steps accomplish this:
-
Open Internet Explorer, and click the Tools menu. Then, select Internet Options.
-
In the Temporary Internet files section, select Delete Files. Close Internet Explorer when finished.
-
Click Start, click Find, and then click Files or Folders.
-
Type *.TMP into the Named box.
-
Make sure that the hard disk drive that contains Windows is selected in the Look In field and that Include sub folders is selected. Then, select Find Now.
-
Delete any file that does not have a tilde (~) in front of it. Close the Find window when finished.
Run Scan Disk and Defrag (Defrag may not be available in Windows NT 4.0) on the hard drive.
-
Click Start, click Programs, click Accessories, click System Tools, and then click Disk Defragmenter.
-
Select the hard drive to be defragmented, and then click OK.
Delete old or unused software. It is a good idea to run Scan disk and Defrag after removing large applications so that the hard disk drive can be reorganized.
-
Click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, and then click Add/Remove Programs to access the Add/Remove Software wizard.
-
Select an application, and then click Add/Remove to uninstall the application.
A memory error may also occur if other error conditions are present, such as a missing file error. The memory error will go away once the other error condition is corrected. If this is the case, a missing file error message will appear after the out of memory error. The missing file must be located or reinstalled.
note:
If low system resources continue to be a problem, please contact the computer manufacturer for further assistance.
