Refusing to let me save a website?!

First time this has happened.

I tend to save websites by going to File > Save As... and i just tried to save a website i saw in the Motors section when i was greeted with this message:

There is insufficient memory to save this webpage.

I have tried saving it in different ways (The drop down bar thingy) but nothing works. Ideas?

I have 3Gb left on my HDD. :rolleyes:

Thanks. <3

Clear temp files out?

Try freeing up some more HDD space then try and save it.

Your HDD has clusters on it.
Once a file has used a cluster, nothing else can use it.
So even if your file takes up 1, 10th of that cluster, the other 9th is free space technically, but nothing at all can use that free space.

So it sounds like you have 3GB of free HDD space, but because files are occupying small amounts of space on lots of clusters, your HDD is reporting 3GB but you can not use it.

Made no difference.

Steve09: It's been much lower before, down to around 500mb and i could still save webpages. Running CCleaner anyways. /shrugs.

Yeah thats weird.
I was just thinking surely you have like xxxkb of free space out of 3GB to save a webpage.
If you were talking about ripping a film to your PC and that message came up, then my first answer would be ok.
