I'm hoping I provide enough info. My computer is operating
very slowly. I've run Norton and have not found any
virus'. My biggest concern, when I boot-up my computer,
and try to open any application, whether its word file,
IE, sometimes Norton Anti-virus.... A warning inidicator
pops up on the screen that reads,

"There is not enough free memory to run this program. Quit
one or more programs, and then try again."

I have enough memory, and this will come up when I try to
open up just one file.

thanks

How much physical memory (RAM) do you have installed in your computer?
If 512MB or greater, this could be the cause -

Spyware/scumware/adware are causing numerous system problems. I recommend
you download and use the following programs and consider removing everything
these programs identify. Be aware that there are frequent updates to these
programs and you need to check for them before every use.

AdAware: http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
