Original Title: system error code 8

everyday or two i get this message:" system error code 8. not enough storage capacity...". it happens when i try to close a program, to open a program, to open a browser and actually in everything i am doing, so i can't do anything. then, i need to restart the computer and it works fine for a day, more or less. i have plenty of space in my hard disk. i've read  about this error in the forum and i see that it's really difficult to find its source but maybe you can help me solving that if i will post a screenshot of the event viewer ( unfortunately, it's in hebrew but i can translate when needed). thanks in advance for any attempt to help cause i am desperate....

    Hi

    ·         Did you make any changes to your computer recently?

    ·         What is the exact error message and when do you receive the error?

    Try to work with the applications in safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Also try changing the size of virtual memroy: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-the-size-of-virtual-memory

    hi, thanks for your reply!

    no, i don't remember making any changes in my  computer, lately.

    the error message : "error code 8. not enough storage is available to process this command"

    i receive the error after the computer works for some hours. i , normally, leave my computer on ( i need to leave it on) and normaly, i get this message again some hours after i restart it.

    why do i restart my pc? because i get this error and it's the only possibility for me to use the computer again. when i get this error no program is opened, no browser is opened and no opened program is closed..... so, only a restart saves the situation...

    i will try to change the virtual memory size but i doubt this is the problem.

    i see some errors in the event viewer but i can't understand them properly.

    thanks in advance for any further help. i know that it's not a common problem and , therfore, it's not easy to solve it.

    i am trying to avoid formatting the computer but if needed i will do that ( unwillingly.....)
