Try increasing the size of your Swap file or move it to another partition with more room.

AAARGH! The goggles - they do nothing!

Try a compressed JPG. Uncompressed might as well be a TIFF file. Actually, it's worse than that.

What on earth did you save it with? Did you not notice :FILE SIZE 225.05KB??? Image

On to the subject of your thread:

<font size=7 color=white face=tahoma>REBOOT</font>

My support call times are improving! Image

I've never seen anyone with NEGATIVE available RAM. o_O??

If a reboot don't work I dunno what would.

[edit] Wait, nevermind. D3 is probably storing the unsigned value it gets from Windows into a signed variable... oops Image It will work right until you get lotsa free RAM. [/edit]

Its a known fact that the D3 system reporting utility is notoriously <s> hilarious</s> inaccurate.

REDETECT SYSTEM PROPERTIES.

D3 Launcher ---> Setup ---> Speed ---> Detect System Properties

Ace, GIF is your friend. Use GIF for screenshots like that. JPEG is for photos or renders.

EDIT: Ace you retard! You renamed a damn BMP file to a jpeg! No ****ing wonder it was so large! I took that image and saved it as a GIF and its barely over 5kB! To top it all off, there is no noticable difference in image quality!

OMG Renaming a BMP to a JPG does not equal compressing a BMP to a JPG!

Oh yeah, check virtual RAM settings in windows if the error keeps on showing up after a reboot. (system properties, advanced tab, performance button, advanced tab, etc.)

768-1536 MB is plenty in most cases... Just fix it at 1536 if you want to avoid fragmentation.

Norton handles that every 3 days Image

No wonder norton needs to defrag your disk every three days if you keep all your images in disguised BMP format at two to twenty megs a pop.
