Solve : Install not enough memory?

Answer»

Hello all,

May be old NoteBook to install a program if there are not enough memories in the machine?
Only 56 MB are instead of 64 MB.
OS: XP or Windows 2000.

ThanksDo you mean hard drive space?

How much free room do you have and what are the specs for your laptop? What program are you trying to install?

System requirements for Windows XP operating systemsIf your gonna run XP on 64MG of RAM i see a spinning hourglass in your future...I have Compaq Armada 100S.

Now runs Windows Xp well enough...
All memory: 56 MB

I would LIKE install temperature
measuring program.

When I install program it send message "not enough memory you need minimum 64 MB free"

I ask this because of that, because it was said once that it is XP at least 64 mb of memory is needed for his running, but than the example shows it, with fewer memories can be installed.The setup program will not allow you to install Windows XP with less then 64MB of RAM. That is the absolute minimum for installation. However, you can REMOVE memory up to a minimum of a little over 16MB (at which point XP refuses to boot) and still have it run. Slowly. But it runs.

note that you also cannot have 56MB of memory installed. your notebook has 64MB of memory, 8MB of which is allocated to the integrated graphics adapter.

As has been noted previous though you may very well have confused disk space and memory space. Either the program is TELLING you it cannot run or install with less then 64MB of free memory (which is impossible for reasons that you've noted) or you are low on hard drive space and there is simply no room to install it.I have enough disk space.
Now 4G free...The setup could not be his time for the video card from somewhere else to give a memory, or that's *censored*?

you cannot install 56MB of Memory in a computer. you can only buy sticks in sizes that are powers of two, simply because of the way the Memory works. Given that, you have 56MB, if you had three slots, and one had 32MB, one had a 16MB stick, and a third had an 8MB stick. That is however far less likely then 8MB being used for the integrated graphics card.

None of this is relevant, unless you are trying to install Windows XP. If you already have windows XP installed and it is another program that refuses to install, then

Could it mean Virtual Memory? It has to be an ancient computer to only have 64MB of physical memory. Quote from: Tashnav on March 30, 2011, 03:48:26 AM

Probably not, no.Everyone is saying what you can't do. What you can do is increase the size of the pagefile. This system appears to be ancient, so it be BETTER to use something older than XP, but if you just want to make it work. . .

Start -> Right click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Click Settings under Performance -> Advanced -> Change
Now type in the size of pagefile you want. When done, click OK till all the windows are closed. Done!

Yes. Because what they can't due happens to be within the scope of what they are trying to do. They can of COURSE add more physical RAM, which would, and most likely is the only real solution.

On the other hand, the solution could be averted by not having a problem. a System that old has no real need for a temperature monitoring program. Particularly one that will probably take up a good portion of active memory.

They could also dance around in there underwear. coincidentally, that would do just as much good as changing the size of the pagefile. If the pagefile is set to system managed- it will be system managed. Even if they DID change it from the defaults, and set- let's say for the sake of argument, no pagefile-

they would be seeing out of memory messages. They wouldn't be getting prompts from the installer that the program will not install when you have less then XXX MB installed. having more virtual memory isn't going to fool the installer. It will still find the same amount of physical RAM and it will still find that it's less than 64MB. Quote

He was seeing out of memory messages, wasn't he? All I can say is that I have had programs that wouldn't install on an older machine and changing the size of the pagefile fixed the problem.
