Your computer is low on memory. Quit other programs, and try again.

I note that others have the same problem and said that your suggested solutions did not work, but did you check the motion as answered in all cases.

I have windows 7 and windows media player 12.0.7600.16667. I play about 3 or 4 videos and get the error message "your computer is low on memory. Quit other programs, and try again. ». As others have noted, I tried the corrections suggested by using the Troubleshoot utility and fixes suggested in similar queries (virtual memory setting etc.). NONE OF THESE WORK! These problems don't to do not manifest until what I installed windows 7 and windows media player 12. What about a solution that works! Returning to WMP 11 would be a possible solution? Any other suggestions besides run the troubleshooter and replace the virtual memory?

I have gateway with AMD Athlon (TM) 62 x 2 dual core processor 6000 + 3.0 GHZ and 3 GB of RAM.

Also have ~ 2 TB memory physical and 3 GB of RAM to play with my computer's memory is not the issue, windows 7 or windows media player 12 or the combination windows7 and WMP 12 is the question. If you cannot offer a solution please ask Uncle Bill to divert resources to solve this problem please (preferably before the next version overpriced and underperforming Windows is imposed on an unsuspecting audience). Thank you.

Hello

·    What is this problem only occurs when you use WIndows Media Player or other applications as well?

·        Did you the latest changes on the computer?

Method 1:

If the previous step fails, then perform the clean boot procedure to verify if a third-party program installed on the computer is the origin of the problem.

To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

Note:

After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

Method 2:

Prevention of problems of memory

Alternatively, you can follow the link provided below for more information on the problems of memory in Windows 7.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/preventing-low-memory-problems

Method 3:

I also suggest to run Msconfig (System utility) and place a check on maximum memory and see if you get the same error again. To do so follow the steps below:

(a) click Start.

(b) type Msconfig in Windows search bar and press ENTER.

c) select the TAB that reads start.

(d) click on advanced options.

(e) place a check on maximum memory.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Windows Media Player will not play error of MTS files that your computer works at low memory. Quit other programs, and then try again

    I am running Windows 7, 64 bit, home premium on a Dell Studio 1558 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD4500-5100 graphics card and an Intel Core i3. It has 4 GB of RAM.

    When I try to read files MTS using Windows Media Player I get the error message "your computer is low on memory. Quit other programs, and then try again,"even with no other programs running. Windows Media Player will play other types of video files without difficulty.

    Any suggestions as to what can be the cause of the problem and how to fix?

    TBH I'm not sure.

    All I can say is on my desk, I have not loaded a pack of codecs only support of any kind and WMP12 plays my MTS files very well. Supported by this statement in Windows Media Player 12 is also capable of playing AVCHD formats (. ) M2ts et . MTS ). [13]" from - http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Player and the fact that in WMP12 - "Media files (all types)" MTS has listed as an acceptable format.

    My office has an AMD/ATI HD5670, and like I said seems to play.

    1. Have you tried to run a full anti-recent virus scan? If this isn't the case, update your antivirus program and run a scan full to see if it finds problems.
    2. Then try a sfc/scannow scan to see if it detects and fixes something.
    3. Just checked, you have installed WMP12? (it should be, but just a double check).

    This type of problem (or similar) has developed before items such as http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/Windows-Media-Player-and-low-memory-issues/bb4bf226-8bd0-41A5-9eed-9be08e6d3bdb and  http://www.TomsHardware.co.UK/answers/ID-1699934/computer-running-low-memory-Windows-Media-Player.html and some people said re-register the DLL of WMP files helped.

  • Close programs to prevent the loss of information. Your computer is low on memory. You save files and close programs. Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

    Hello

    I keep getting the following error message, and leterally having my computer off over and over again, even if I added 1 GB of RAM (now 3 total RAM) mor and also added a 8 GB SD card as more power:

    Close programs to prevent the loss of information.  Your computer is low on memory.  You save files and close programs.  Java (TM) Platform SE binary Windows Media Player

    I did research on the various search engines to know that many face the same problem, with a variety of possible solutions, but so far, none work.  We suggest that I go to Regedit and change the permissions of the user and then delete the old files, after I import them.

    Needless to say, I am just a user and have just a bit of technical knowledge.  The local PC repair shop in my town has no idea what to do.  For anyone who has a solution to this problem, help will be greatly appreciated!

    Randy Kline

    First of all, unless you know EXACTLY what you do and WHY you do it. I personally recommend never do anything in regedit. I consider myself a moderate to advanced computer user and a moderate user of windows. And I always stay away from regedit, if I can, because you can seriously screw things if you don't know what you're doing... Although, to be honest most of the settings will not have a devastating drama.

    It seems to me that this is a memory leak in the program, you will get this error message to make sure that your computer will just crash, because if she is running out of RAM... Well it will crash.

    If you have a 2 and a 1 GB for a total of 3 GB, I recommend the upgrade once more and just round up to a nice 4 (this is the most of memory a 32-bit system can handle in total)

    Works of memory in a way that you see really only a few performance jump with memory dual channel, the only way to have that is really striking the rods of same in each slot.

    There isn't really a reason that this happens every time, except that simply your computer is low on MEMORY, when your computer says this means RAM, not disk memory storage area.

    If you clean your computer of the programs you never use and stop using windows media player (itunes is better in my opinion, even if you don't have an ipod), you can see an improvement, but to really isolate the problem, I recommend simply opening your task manager as soon as you start your computer (ctrl + alt + delete usually gives you the option or it opens directly) otherwise you can do start-> RUN taskmgr.exe , OR type taskmgr.exe in the search box and press on enter.

    Then, look at the column of memory as I said it sounds like a program has a leak, and you will see that is because memory will begin at low/normal and then numbers just keep climbing...

    Also, make sure that your computer recognizes all 3 GB or RAM. in Task Manager if you have access to the performance tab, under physical memory must be a thing called Total, 3 GB = 3074. If this is not an option in your reason, you can go under Accessories/System Tools system information (on the start menu). (may take a while to load) but on the home page, you should see something that indicates the amount of TOTAL PHYSICAL MEMORY. You want to read this / 3GB or 3074 MB.

    Hope this helps some!

    I recommend to remove all programs, you are ready to, especially those that you never use. Do a complete uninstall. Then start installing windows clean (download google) just to make sure that the program has been removed. then go start--> run msconfig OR just type msconfig in the search and click on go (I don't know if you're running XP or Vista/7)

    In the msconfig dialog, you should see a section that says startup. Don't forget to remove programs that you do not first. Disable startup programs, you use every DAY. Don't go turn off all if windows needs some process to run, and some processes don't effect anything. But if you're curious, you should be able to google all of startup items and see what it's related to and why you do or that you don't need.

    Good luck! Sorry, I'm everywhere with this response.
