Installation Fails

I'll try to help you. Let me start with a simple explanation of computer memory. We have basically three types, two of which are the same but used for different purposes. First we have RAM, chips that we call memory and our computer may have 256, 512 KRAM, 1 GB, 2GB, etc. This is the physical hard sticks of memory we put on the mother board. Then we have what we call or disk or hard drive memory. this is usually seen as our C: drive and this can be many GB's of memory. Our operating system, XP, W2K, Linux, etc. needs another typr of memory that is called page memory and uses what is called virtual memory. This is actually part of the hard drive but is a special area that the OS can move pages from the RAM to very efficiently when we change from one program or display page to another.

What you are getting is a message that your VM or virtual memory, the area that the OS uses on the disk, is having trouble saving a special table that tells it what is acutally stored here. This is called the "heap". To help with this you must be in the administrator account of the computer. Then use the Control Panel> System applet>Advanced tab>Performance selection. You will then see an Advanced tab at the top, choose this. Here you can change the Page file size. Besure that you don't change it to exceed the amount of free space on your hard drive. You can see that in your "My Computer", Rigth click on it, select Preperties and then look at free space. You should have several Gb left, if not then your Administrator should know how to clean it up.

Hope that takes care of your problem, SRI this was sooon long.
