I'm running Windows XP with 256mb of RAM and have never had any problems until a
few days ago. I went to open Photoshop and I got the error "Unable to intitialize;
not enough RAM."
I downloaded MemTurbo (a friend recommended it) to investigate and it said I only
had about 40mb of RAM left. After defragging my C:/ and using MemTurbo's RAM recover
tool it will go up to 150mb but then quickly start decreasing again.
I've heard that you need 512mb to run Windows XP at optimum performance, but I'm
a student without the funds and I've had this computer and setup for three years
and have never had any difficulties with RAM before.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Again, I'm curious as to what caused this
to start happening because it's just so random that it would start happening now.
