What does it mean if Im getting messages that system resources or memory are low?
This is a common question so, without getting too technical, when a program is running it uses system resources to run and display stuff on the screen. When you shut a program down, it’s supposed to give those resources back to Windows. Sometimes things don’t go the way they’re supposed to and the resources get “lost” and then there are not enough to run the other programs. Usually, before getting alarmed, close all programs, click the Start button, click Shut Down and select Restart. When the computer restarts, everything should be OK. If not, it’s time to call The Help Desk!
