Not enough memory?

Hi there,

I have had a Dell Desktop XPS 430 for almost 2 years now and am suddenly getting a message on my screen that says I do not have enough memory?

I am not finding much info through Google, and thought I would ask here.

Thanks for your help, the computer has been excellent until this started a couple of weeks ago.

Michael.

    mboulton,

    It could be that the virtual memory is low. Here is some information that may help you pinpoint this issue.

    Several direct questions have been asked and not answered.

    What is the exact error message?

    What does it say about the memory in cmos?

    Adobe Acrobat 9

    When scanning a color copy at a Resolution of 1200DPI
     error saying that - "There is not enough memory to complete this scanning operation."

    So i am to run cmos?  And then what do i do?

    I have not had a blue screen.

    No Os version??    Amount of ram listed in Bios??  The error is not complete enough to venture a remedy.

    Thank you for the direct questions, I will most certainly give as thourough of answers when I can get home and try this on my desktop computer.  Please note that I have never used CMOS and would simply like to know what it is I do after I hit F2 on my computer.  If I don't know what to do, or look for, this will be pointless for me.

    Listed as "BIOS Setup (F2)" on the top-right of your screen after powering on.

    I am running Windows 7 and I believe there is 4 gigabytes of RAM installed.

    Boot CMOS.   What does it say?

    What is the exact words of the error?

    Blue Screen STOP error?

    "Error: Not enough memory to complete the scan. Followed by Paused by System message."  is a not a dell problem.

    Nor is it a windows 7 problem.
