still, after a point, windows won't resize its swap space past some maximum value that it's determined for your system. he could have 100 GB free and still get that answer. so going out and buying a bigger hard drive is almost certainly not going to help.

he really needs more ram, but in the short term he just needs to go to control panel->system->advanced->performance options->advanced->change and put in some larger values. if he only has 256 mb of ram i'd say 512-768 might be a good range to put in, but it depends on his system.
