[QUOTE="Bev, post: 435791, member: 26073"] Hi. I’m having a problem with the memory on my C disk. I’ve been trying for two days to figure out where the memory is being used. It shows that my Hard Disk Drives (1), Local Disk C: is 7.43 GB free of 148 Gb. It is almost all in red! I have 4.00 GB of RAM with 3.25 GB usable. I’ve tried to remove programs that use a lot of memory, but I barely made a dent, as I do not know which programs are using the most disk space. One thing I noticed was that Task manager showed two different internet explorers running; one was for windows 32 bit and one for 64 bit. They were using a substantial amount of memory. I tried to remove the 32 bit operations, like System Mechanic, but I wasn't sure if that was where the excessive amount of memory was being used. iTunes was also not running correctly, so I uninstalled it and all its parts. I plan to reinstall it later. I also checked windows update history and saw that Microsoft Word is also in 32 bit. My computer OS was Windows Vista 32 bit, but I had it upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit about two years ago. I thought that may have something to do with it, if my computer is trying to run 32 and 64 bit at the same time. I am at a loss. You helped me once before with a virus, and I'm hoping that you can help me with this. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
