Low Memory

My windows 7 laptop has recently been telling me low memory. I have only been shutting down and restarting. Please help me correct my low memory fault.

In my experience that seldom results from insufficient installed memory, but a program fault.  Tell me more about your computer and maybe I an offer more advice:

  1. Laptop or Desktop
  2. Age of computer
  3. make/model
  4. Operating system installed (e.g. Windows 7)
  5. 32 or 64 bit? (Right-click on Computer, choose Properties)
  6. Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed? Same place as 5 above.
  7. Capacity of disk drive, how much is in use?  Pie chart shown in Computer
  8. Model number of hard drive (click Disk in Device Manager)
  9. If Windows has ever been re-installed since it was new, when was that?
  10. Age of hard drive if not the original
  11. How much memory is installed? (Right-click on Computer, choose Properties)
  12. Please list ALL installed programs.....
  13. What security software is installed?
