If you have too many programs installed on your computer.

If you have too many programs running on your computer. Please try to remove the ones that you don't use. The more programs you have running on your computer the slower the computer. Refer to this page to learn how to remove a program from your computer.

Insufficient available disk space.

If you have a hard disk drive that is 2GB or smaller, ensure that there is at least 200MB of hard disk drive space free. If you have a hard drive larger than this size, verify that there is at least 500MB of free hard disk space. This available space allows the computer to have room for the swap file to increase in size as well as room for temporary file. Try to free some space on your hard disk by deleting unnecessary files including unused audio and video files.
