Warning! Squeak is almost out of memory!
I open scratch and i want to add a sprite from other folder and when i click OK Squeak says this:
"Warning! Squek is almost out of memory!
Low space detection is now disabled. It will be restored when you close or proceed from this error notifier. Don't panic, but do proceed with caution."
What should i do to go back to normal? It was the same with last version of Scratch and it is the same with Scratch 1.3.1.

Re: Warning! Squeak is almost out of memory!
Can i increase Squeak memory without adding RAM or closing programs which are working in background? Can I delete some projects and something like that which I have downloaded from the internet? Would that increase Squeaks memory?

Re: Warning! Squeak is almost out of memory!
only one way to find out, i would delete all the projects i didn't need off mycomputer, then online put them in a gallary so i would still have them if i needed them.

Yep, there's a good explanation about the relationship between Scratch and Squeak here:

Squeak is the language scratch is written in.

Squeak is a programming language.
Scratch is actually written in MIT squeak;
which is a modified version of squeak.
The scratch image is also this, but most likely scratch is developed as a changes file, which is more of a squeak application.

If you are on a PC, here's two tips:
1) a. Push Control + Alternate + Delete, and click 'task manager.'
b. Right click on scratch in the applications tab, and select 'go to process'
c. Right click on the selected process, click 'set priority,' then 'high.'
d. NOTE: do not put real time. This could crash your computer.
2) a. Go to the control panel. click on the 'system' icon.
b. Go to the advanced tab, and click the settings button under performance.
c. In the performance options window, go to the advanced tab, and click the change button under virtual memory.
d. In the virtual memory dialog, select your home drive.
e. In the fieldset under that, (Paging file size...) Change the two text fields to a higher number.
f. NOTE this is the more risky of the two. If you have an older computer, select the system managed size radio button, instead of step e.
In direct response to your question, here's the simple answer:
RAM is what squeak is low on. RAM is used for processes, computing, etc.
ROM is what those things you mentioned take up. Yes, Increasing your ROM does increase your RAM, but that's beyond the scope of this problem.
What you suggested increases ROM.
The above two methods increse RAM.
Hope this helps, tell me if you have any further questions.

Squeak is the program scratch was made in.
Scratch is just "Squeak in a Halloween Costume".

Re: Warning! Squeak is almost out of memory!
When I clicked save it happened and now Scratch is frozen. I cant even x it out. And I was working on something important. Anyone know what to do?
God = backwards dog. Backwards dog = the opposite of dog.
The opposite of dog = cat. God = cat. God is a cat.

Press ctrl+alt+delete, choose task manager, click on scratch, then click "end task"
