Can't restore images -- "out of memory"

Hello, I'm a big fan of True Image which has worked fine for me until today.
Now, when I try to restore an image, I go through all the menus normally but a moment after hitting the "proceed" button, a window pops up saying "Not enough memory" and I'm sent back to the main menu screen. I tried a couple of different images with the same result. I can't seem to find any information about this problem.

I should mention what preceeded this problem, although I don't know if it will explain anything:
I was in the middle of restoring an image when I accidentally knocked my PC's reset button. When I rebooted, one of my external USB drives (the one that contained the backup image file) wasn't found. I had to roll back its driver to get it detected properly. Now it seems to work fine except that True Image doesn't!

I tried reinstalling the program; no luck.
This is True Image 8.0, by the way.

Thanks for reading.

 

Oops; I made a slight mistake in the thread title; the error message is not "out of memory," but "not enough memory," as I wrote in the message body.

 

Try clearing out your Cookies, Temp and Temporary Internet Files folders. A good program to do this automatically is Ccleaner from www.ccleaner.com

 

Okay, I tried CC cleaner but the problem persists.
I should mention that I have 2GB of RAM and several GB free on all my hard disks.

 

Hello Zipzop,

How many GBs of used space are you trying to image and how many GBs of free space do have on the destination partition? The free space needs to be approx 1.5 times the uncompressed used space that you are imaging.

Also worth checking out how many Windows Restore Points you have. If you can, delete all but the latest restore point.

Regards
