[gui-talk] memory issue

[David Andrews]

It could be that your antivirus and antispyware programs are doing 
full system scans when you turn on your machine, and those, along 
with running AOL right away, is to much for your machine.  Try 
turning on the machine and letting it run for five minutes before 
launching AOL.

Your free space figures don't strike me as being off.  Some space 
could be in your recycle bin.  run start, programs, accessories, 
system, disk cleanup, and get rid of stuff and see what your free 
space is then.
