[QUOTE="Miss Elaine, post: 692996, member: 61336"] I am running a bloated Leopard on my iBook G4. Under my activity monitor, my VM size is 38.3 GB. However, I only seem to have about 3 GB available on my HD. This indicates to me that there is 38.3 Gigs free, but I am only able to put 3 Gigs on it. Am I misunderstanding what this virtual memory is? Also, I have looked at the size of all my folders, including applications (at least I think I have), and can only seem to account for about 40GB out of my 80GB HD. I fear that I am missing HD space. Am I? Thanks in advance for any useful info. [/QUOTE]
