I have windows vista RC 2 installed on my backup computer and i have been running it with 1gb of ram. i have had it running for 5 months now with no problems but recently (if you read my other question on media center) when i try to load a program i get a msg "system out of memory. please close some programs and try again" so i close some programs and it still doesn't work. I'm thinking this might be the problem to the media center but i am not sure on how to fix it. PLEASE HELP.

I have 300gb of free space, so i'm pretty sure that is not the problem. i heard that if you have a low end vid card it can also call for an "out of memory" so i'm going out right now to get a new vid card and another gb of ram.

The minimum requirement for running windows vista is 512 MB, so 1 GB of ram is not indeed that much better.
If you have any real-time application such as an antivirus, or even MSN messenger, that is running all the time, it's very logical that you go low on memory.
As I always tell my friends... "GET MORE RAM"...
Also, try to free space on the drive on which vista is installed, more that 1 GB is REQUIRED so that windows can "Play" freely there!!!!!

Not enough free space on your hard drive!!
too many windows open, too many tasks
need to clean up temp files
get rid of resident programs

we desire greater suggestion with regard to the kind of the RAM..and the only that has greater beneficial speed ought to in all danger be greater beneficial, except it has very undesirable high quality. If the fee on your new RAM is quicker than the only on your computing gadget top now, it may run on the comparable speed of the slower one.

Vista is still too new to even look at, unless you have a spare machine that will run it.

Did you restart? You're hard drive could be pretty full, RAM uses hard drive space too. Try defragmenting the hard drive and deleting old files.

Maybe because vista is only RC2, wait for final.
