>Recently my computer has begun notifying almost daily it is running out of memory. Taskmanager shows the biggest consumers are Firefox, BackupAssist, Windows Explorer and there are others in the hundreds of megabytes category. Wonder why this seems to have come on suddenly. Virus? Change to windows?

Maybe the computer has accumulated many "junk" files.
Maybe you're running multiple anti-virus, registry cleaners or other scanning software, in the background.
But if you say this is "suddenly"..... look into PIO/DMA... especially if your computer is more than a few years old.

Nothing you shouldn't already know...... :-)
Hope it helps.....
