Ok, i know that in first look at the title it might sound something connected with hardware, but it isn't, at least i think so..!
so here is whats happening. i ran into problems last week, pc won't turn on; so i removed one (512MB) memory stick, and left with 1.5GB RAM.
today i reinstalled Photoshop CS2, which worked perfectly before with 2GB RAM, and it appeared to be very slow. i went into My Computer, and what do i find?? i have only 1GB free on C
i quit the software and kept on using the computer for games and browsing the net. Not long ago, i tried to run the photoshop again, and here i get again only 1GB free on C, plus my computer frozen. so i restarted it manually, i turned on my msn, went to My Computer, and here i see only 895MB free on C.
originally, i'm supposed to have around the 18GB free, out of 80GB.
does anyone know why is this happening? i assume the softwares are using the HDD instead of RAM, is that possible? anybody has solution?
thanks in advance,
geos
edit: when i quit the MSN, i get one MB plus :S (896MB)
