How to compress program..?
Okay everyone I have a question. I`m trying to run this program on my computer, but I don`t have enough memory. I have like 756 GB`s; I was wondering. Is there anyway I can compress this program so it doesn`t take up so much memory? Please answer. This is important.
Update:Hmm alright, interesting. You gave me an idea but I still need more answers.

See if you can make the program portable or check around and see if it already has a portable version?

You can get a 500 gb external usb hard drive for around 75 dollars at walmart?
If you don't have the disk space, you don't have it...that simple.
You could try this:
For some immediate 'c' disk space gain, delete all but the most recent Java version & update from 'Add or Remove Programs' (see 'Control Panel'> Add or Remove...);
Also, delete old 'Restore Points'.
If your system is behaving itself, make a new Restore Pt.; then go to System Tools> Disk cleanup> (after it's done examining the disk)> More Options> System Restore button @ bottom> Clean up> Yes.
One disk performance item is to 'compress contents' and 'allow index service'. These help optimize file recovery speed & save disk space.
Start> my computer> right click 'c' drive> properties> general tab: here check both boxes & 'OK'.
Don't freak out: it may say hours (or days) to run, but this drops dramatically as the process advances. Just walk away and let 'er run for the duration: it will self close when done.
Depending on the files & sizes, it may take several hours to do (maybe do it at night before bed?).
When done, run 'CCleaner' (http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/)
& defrag the drive.
You are confusing memory with hard drive space as it seems. When an application would take up 4GB of hard drive space for example, it would fit on your hard drive. If you would not have sufficient free hard drive space, you could compress the file making it fit on your hard drive. If the application in question would require 4GB of memory and you would only have 2GB of memory, it will not run, no matter how much free hard drive space you have.
Try to reduce the program components which are unnecessary.(language pack, Themes, extra utilities etc.). I mean don't install all the options of program. Install only which are needed
