emsley Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 A glitchy third party programe, can sometimes make your computer run up to much virtual memory... Not to sure but my guess is its a crappy programe your using, or your getting glitchis here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderVM Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hmmm... Might be an erroneous hard disk info.... Try Scandisk (On Windows 9X/Me) or chkdsk (Win2K,XP) Or a signal for a dying hard disk...... >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugenn Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 (edited) Do you have any hidden files which you did not take into consideration? How did you arrive at the 300MB value? Is the 2GB value the amount of disk space used, or the combined file size? Note that filesystems typically allocate disk space in fixed block sizes. So even if the file was 1 byte large, the smallest block size would be allocated, which usually is about 4KB. Although 300++MB -> 2GB is kind of stretching it.
