Out of Memory

[alexctt]

I have Vista Enterprise with 2gb of memory.
everytime i try to access a folder on my external hard drive (Toshiba 2.0 USB), it freezes explorer and and error message comes up saying out of memory, but i can't read it all because most of the window is just black.

also, before all of this started my NVidia graphics had a message pop up saying the NVIDIA Display Panel Extension cannot be created.
Possible reasons include:
version mismatch. Reinstalling display drivers may solve this problem.

i've tried to download drivers but the only place to find them are on lenovo support and they didnt help

When I downloaded the driver setup it said there were no drivers that were compatible with my system

also, my system has 2.00gb of RAM but in the system properties for virtual memory, it says i have 3.00gb and currently allocated 2313mb

i dont know if that has anything to do with it, but maybe the system is trying to use more RAM than what is available.

Which Lenovo machine are you running?

 

[alexctt]

yes, i went to that page and the Quadro NVS 140M is not there in the list so i scanned my computer for the website to find my system information itself and it said there were no drivers available

also, i edited my post above

 

[alexctt]

my machine is a T61
i've been to the lenovo website for drivers, but when i try to install them it says there were no updates to be installed

Try this, if it does not work go to your device manager and select your device and uninstall then install this driver. It should work.

the one i linked is 32 bit vista

 

[alexctt]

i'm downloading the driver, but the error only comes up when i access folders on my external hard drive.
my computer seems fine now with the hard drive plugged in, but as soon as i open a folder on it, it will start messing up

 

[echrada]

Sorry mate,so eager to help that i sometime don't pay attention to detail - here is the 32 bit one.

Lenovo Support & downloads - Display (NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M / Quadro FX 570M) driver for Windows Vista 32-bit - ThinkPad

 

[alexctt]

okay, so i installed the driver for 32-bit and when i restarted my computer, it stopped booting up before the windows vista logo screen appeared before you try to log in.
so i turned it off, and unplugged my external hard drive and it booted up fine. but now i dont know what to do about my hard drive

Have you tired to install this driver in the safe mode?

On the out of memory issue, is your hard drive full? Is your Swap file set to 4 gigs or greater or system managed?

 

[alexctt]

my hard drive is not full, and i dont know about the swap file. how do you set it? and should it be on 4 gigs, because i only have 2 gigs of RAM

 

[alexctt]

i just tried to open a file on my external hard drive, and the RAM meter in my sidebar that shows the CPU and RAM usage, went to 100% and ended up restarting explorer

 

[rtt_77388]

Your virtual memory setting are probibly ok, if you haven't touched them. However, Open the control panel -> go to system -> then advanced tab -> Performance settings button -> Advanced tab ->virtual memory -> change. If it is set to system managed you are good.

You might want to check your disk for errors using chkdsk.

 

[alexctt]

yeah, the system is checked to manage

 

[rtt_77388]

Do you have another USB drive avaiable to try? Or another USB port on the machine. Maybe the drive or port is bad.
