Win98SE and some Memory problem!

[Nerd]

I just tried to copy and paste something into my notepad, and it told me that I dont have enough memory to do so, so please exit some applications and try again. I reboot, and still the same problem. I have 256 MB PC133 Micron ram. What the hell could be the problem?

If you haven't tried restarted your computer, do so. It might just be a memory leak.

Is it text? Or is it something other than text which you are trying to paste?

hmm, when was the last time you fully scanned all your files for viruses or trojans??

Hmmmm..sounds strange.
It most likley won't help but whens the last time you defragged?
Oh, and make sure you have virtual memory enabled.

Most of the times that I have seen this it is a machine in severe need of rebooting.

Where I work, we recommend that ALL users on our network do a Shutdown and Restart at the end of each work day. And the ones that don't are usually the ones that call up complaining at us (along with the ones running "Verses of the Day" Screen Saver, Active Desktop, Word as an Email Editor, etc....)

Reboot the machine...and I concur with checking the Virtual Memory settings.
