Gail, From your original message, it appears that your disk is full. The problem likely does not reside with FTM. When it opens, it probably asks to use disk space temporarily to store all the data it will use while running. If you have a lot of genealogy data, that could take up considerable space. Often though, this kind of message appears when there is not enough RAM, the memory modules plugged into your computer on the "motherboard" that contains most of the circuitry for the computer. What kind of computer do you have (make, model number)? What version of what operating system are you using (Windows XP, 2000, etc.)? What is the size of your disk? How much RAM do you have? On my XP computer, I can find most of this by going to Accessories-System Tools-System Information. The amount of RAM may be called "Total Physical Memory". If you right-click on the start button, click "Explore," move the cursor to the "C" drive, right-click, and then click on "Properties", it will show you how big your C drive is and how much space is used. I hang around on the ilhamil list. I don't know if I am registered or not but I get the messages.

My "ram" is not too full; that has been checked (not by me, of course). I'm sure it is the soft-ware FTM; I think I'll make copy of the "notes" and then delete them? The photo's in the scrabook disappeared months ago; I just found them while messing around on this machine....! ladybug ----- Original Message ----- From: "John T.

Gail, I emphasize, check how much space is left on your hard drive. If your drive is full, you need to add another hard drive space and you will need more space in the future anyway. Please be kind to yourself and don't delete anything that you might regret deleting later on.

Gail "RAM" is your "Memory" so if FTM is telling you there is not enough "Memory" then you need to add more to your computer. A computer can be configured to use your computer's hard disk drive to mimic "RAM" so it appears you have more "Memory" bit if you don't have a large disk drive in your computer, even this could cause the "not enough memory" message you are seeing. Computers keep getting cheaper and cheaper. For example, you can get new HP desktop computer with the following specs for $299: AMD Sempron(TM) LE1300 processor [2.3GHz, 512KB L2, up to 1600MT/s bus] 2GB DDR2-800MHz SDRAM [1 DIMM] (this is the memory) 320GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive (this is the disk drive for storing files) Of course you can spend more and get more. Myself, I decided my laptop was just not cutting it anymore so I bought myself a new desktop computer that has: 8 GB of memory and 1 TB (like having two 500 gig drives) of hard disk space plus have another 1 TB removable disk drive. I love all the extra space for storing program and files and the memory means I can have lots of applications running at the same time. My removable disk drive allows me to connect it to my laptop when I need to make a "road trip" with my laptop and have all my files with me. Sandy (Whalen) Bauer On 3/5/2010 11:35 AM, John T.
