You are confusing "Memory" with "Hard Drive Space". You have 21 gig of "Storage space" left on your hard drive. The program is asking for more Memory or RAM. Your "Swap file" or Virtual Memory is probably set to low.



If a computer running Windows requires more memory/RAM then there is installed in the system to run a program, etc, it uses a small section of the hard drive for this purpose. This is called “Virtual” memory, or “Swap Filling”. If the “Swap” file is to small, then you will get a warning that the system can’t perform the operation that you have requested because sufficient “Virtual” memory isn’t available.



You need to enlarge the size of your “virtual memory/swap file”. So, do the following.



Right click “My Computer” and choose “Properties”.

In the “System Properties” window, click the “Advanced” tab.

Under “Performance”, click “Settings”.

In the “Performance Options” window, click “Advanced”.

Under “Virtual memory”, click “Change”.



Increase the size of the “Paging file” so that it is at least twice the size of your RAM. You can increase the size to “Maximum”, it won’t hurt your system at all.





Best cure.



If you really want to eliminate this problem, all you need do is to install more “Memory/RAM”.

The message is referring to your virtual memory. This is the place where Windows swaps programs and data in and out while you're running. Click start and rightclick my computer and click the advanced tab and then the performance option. Increase the virtual space by a gig or two - this will be permanent, but will increase Windows' virtual space. You mention 21gig in drive c. I am assuming that is free space and not the total space.

Your cache is becoming so big that it is now a problem. The game uses so much memory that its practically the entire cache. You need teo emty it. Go to start-all programs-accessories-system tools-disk cleanup. For you it will take a wile. And then it will finally ask what you want to get rid of. I recommend everything but you relaly only need to meake sure everything with CACHE is checked. Then delete. And your computer will be lightning fast and the game will run smoothly.

digital memory is area dispensed on your no longer ordinary force for those circumstances that your actual memory (RAM) isn't adequate. to advance the quantity of digital memory flow to administration Panel > device > stepped forward > overall performance > Settings > stepped forward > digital memory "replace" > custom length > alter as mandatory. a million.5 circumstances your actual RAM is a competent minimum and thrice your actual memory in MB is sweet on your optimal.
