Your problem is the really low virtual memory that your desktop has. Don't spend money on new desktop. Just upgrade your computer with a bigger drive. Depending on your drive connection, IDE or SATA, they are bigger drives for both connections than 40GBs.
Buy a external USB hard drive, then download a program called HDclone and work your magic. The new USB hard drive has to be the same connection, IDE or SATA, of your desktop.
The program will clone your entire old hard drive onto the new one. Make sure both hard drive have the same connection so that you can install the new, larger drive, onto your desktop. Bingo and done, takes a few hours depending on the speed of the old drive and the USB connection.

On win 7 :
Right click on your Hard Drive > Properties > Disk Cleanup > More Options > System Restore and Shadow Copies : Clean Up : Delete.

I get freaky about stuff like that in case of losing data

^ No, no need to do back-up, they are made automatically.
This is a safe and well know tip to clean your hard drive and make it go faster.
To keep you data safe you can store them on an external hard drive or on an internal hard drive with an External Hard Drive Enclosure.
And there is also online storage, ADrive | Online Storage, Online Backup, Cloud Storage is a very good free provider with 50GB of free storage.

turn off/remove system restore. Run ccleaner. The windows update backups can also be nuked if you know your way around the windows system folders.
Instead of using multiple users, I use a program to run Firefox virtually for each stealth. I don't have to leave my main desktop to switch users. Passwords, Cookies, settings ect. are still all separate.

I am using each VM XP for each account.
Each has 512MB RAM runs on my Core 2 Quad, 6GB RAM desktop.
However, I only turn one at a time for each IP.
You should not leave all accounts or VMs running at the same time, because there is only one IP each time you are in an account, and may pose risk of link from other logged account.

Prices being cheap as they are for some slightly older comps, can be affordable to manage couple of computers

It could be wasting space, but today hard drives are really cheap.
My VM XP only costs me about 5GB.
For 1TB hard drive, you can have upto 200 accounts. Quote:

Just an FYI,
I use 3 pcs, I have taped on the wall above the desk what user it's I am running on them.
I also set my screen background to that particular screen name,so I do not get confused.
I do this so,no more than 5 Ida can go down at once, and I still have 10 I'd,s up and running.
I use my portable laptop the most,it's a cheap staples $399 laptop,but it holds all info for 5 accts.
Good luck !

@Cortex Also what helps if you would like to go the Elijah way with multiple browsers is to create desktop browsers shortcuts and rename them to the stealth name so you don't get confused. |

I only use Chrome and Firefox nowadays.
I made two gmail emails in one user acct. Then I went to another (brand new) user acct with nothing (supposedly) on it. I opened up Chrome and the cookies remembered those email addresses from the other user acct. Found this the other day but suspected this for a long time.
Once I opened up Opera browser and it took over every user acct I had. Then I didn't like that so I deleted it from my PC. Maybe the ease in being able to enter everything in Windows 7 is a weakness. I don't know.

All my user accts used to be logged on so I learned hear that that was using up hard drive space so I remember to log off. Maybe that was a way to 'leak' data I don't know.

Sorry about the multiple threads but things start to come back to me. Once in a while I get suspended for something and I get that message 'We see that you are linked to the Ebay acct safesales2011 and goodfinds666 so we are ......'These accts are not supposed to be linked in any way.
I think Ebay uses some deeper checking button or whatever but the fact that I get linked to other acct this way is too wrong.
Otherwise I hop around forever on many users without ever getting linked...Weird!
