how can i defrag memory?

Answer 1

you dont ever need to....everytime you reboot you Ram is wiped clean.

Answer 2

The first thing to do is attend a computer class and learn the difference between memory and storage. Now then, you are talking about harddisk storage space and slowness, which are two different issues. A partial solution can help both. Open IE and goto Tools-internet Options and delete all you Temp int files. By default, you probably are limited to 2GB and have that much. Don't bother with cookies. They don't use much space. Next, clear out your Temp folder in your profile\Local Settings. Delete all the files here. You can also clean all the files you don't need from c:\temp. Get rid of any downloaded videos you don't really care to keep. You can burn a CD with them and then delete them. Remove any programs that you know about and don't need. That should free up disk space. To free up Memory, look in your Startup folders and the Run sections in the registry and remove stuff that you are familiar with and don't need to running all the time, like Quicktime, winamp, acrobat, java update, real player. You may find spyware running from here.

Answer 3

Why in the world would you want to do that??
Memory erases completely when your computer shuts down.
I assume you are talking about you Hard Drive :)
Open my computer --> right click on the drive you want to defrag --> click on properties.
Select the tab with tool and hit defrag now.
Analyze it first, it will suggest you whether you should or should not defrag.
Also I assumed you are using XP.

Answer 4

It doesn't make sense to defragment memory. It is allocated and positioned differently than on a harddrive. Also, even if it was possible, it wouldn't improve performance since, unlike a harddrive, it doesn't take any time to 'Seek' to a certain position in RAM before reading data out. For instance, Windows positions applications below 2 GB and all operating system functions above 2 GB, yet at the same time the OS accesses memory lower than 1 MB for BIOS functions and in the rare instance of a true MS-DOS instance.

Answer 5

oh for that follow these steps
when the comp starts
go to the blue setting screen through function keys
and then go to memory section
and the there is an option
memory check click on it and rebood
memory defrags

Answer 6

Since they already told you how to defrag your hard drive, another thing you might try to help "clean out" your pc is Disk Cleanup. Go to
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup.

You could also clear your history in Internet Explorer, as well as deleting your cookies and temporary files.

Answer 7

Memory can not be defragged. Hard Drive space can be.

To do the Hard Drive, open my computer, right click your hard drive, click the tools tab, and select Defrag.

Answer 8

You do not defrag memory - only the hard drive. Memory is cleared when you turn your PC off, but as soon as you power on, it is filled with your screensaver (which runs in the backgound) and any programs loaded through the Start menu.

If you think your PC is running slow because of a full memory, you might try clearing as much as possible while you work:

- Are you using a complex screensaver - it runs in the background and eats memory. I had fun with mine, then changed it to blank.
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
-cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
-cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
-then cl Remove.
-This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.
-Are you in a large file? If so, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.)

1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag

2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

3.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphic

Answer 9

There are various programs that can do this for you.

Often, rogue processes claim memory space long after the mother program is shut down. Such a utility allows you to easily optimize your RAM without having to reboot.

This is an example of the software you need :
