My situation is almost identical. Gateway with ME is almost a year old and I have
within .10mb of the same disk space. Never had this problem until a week or so ago,
when I clicked a shortcut to Word on the desktop and it froze. Got the gray "resources
dangerously low" placard and then wound up having to shut it off at the electrical
switch. Since I've tried restore back a month and a half, lost my Norton antivirus,
and have closed everything unnecessary running--right now have 42 percent of available
resources with few programs going. I'm about ready to convert this thing to a boat
anchor.
