Have 6 year old computer (Gateway 700 SE-OS-Microsoft XP)with 768 MB memory & 40 GB Hard drive. I have two external hard drives with space of 146 GB & 180 GB. I am working on a Word document that is 518 MB and I am getting a message showing not enough memory or disk space. I have cleaned off everything I can and according to Gateway cannot add any more memory to this computer.
I found in the Gateway Help & Support section this information:
"You can optimize virtual memory use by dividing the space between
multiple drives and removing it from slower or heavily accessed drives.
To best optimize your virtual memory space, divide it among as many
physical hard drives as possible."
So how do I go about dividing my virtual memory space among
the three drives so that I can increase the virtual memory capability
and bring up my 518 MB Microsoft Word document. If someone has an answer please be VERY specific about how to do this as I am not very computer savy. Thanks. for any help or suggestions.
